Description

Narcissus Prinses Amalia is an elegant and finely proportioned mid-season daffodil, known for its distinctive colouring and regal poise. Its broad, creamy-white petals surround a small, rounded cup of soft apricot-peach — a refined and understated colour palette that brings grace to contemporary planting schemes and classic spring borders alike. Reaching 35–45 cm in height, it combines a compact, upright habit with weather-resilient blooms that perform well under Irish spring conditions, including coastal winds and intermittent rain.

Prinses Amalia is especially well suited to curated planting schemes where soft contrast and transitional colour play are required, including hotel landscapes, heritage estate borders, and urban public gardens. Its gentle pastel tone makes it ideal for romantic mixed bulb drifts, quiet contemplation areas, or high-end hospitality zones where floral restraint and elegance are paramount.

Though lightly scented, it still contributes modestly to sensory schemes and is a useful nectar source for hoverflies and solitary bees in milder weather windows. Its open cup form provides pollinator access, particularly when planted in sheltered spots or sunny microclimates. This cultivar thrives in full sun or partial shade and prefers fertile, free-draining soils with good organic content — though it will tolerate improved clay in municipal beds, roadside buffers, or amenity borders if well-prepared.

Combine Prinses Amalia with Tulip Mariette, Muscari White Magic, or Anemone blanda Blue Shades for a sophisticated, multi-layered spring sequence. It’s particularly effective in walled gardens, courtyard displays, raised civic planters, or formal bedded areas that benefit from gentle colour gradation and reliable mid-season performance.

Whether used in reflective hospital gardens, designer meadows, or estate underplanting, Narcissus Prinses Amalia brings soft refinement, ecological value, and adaptable design utility to Irish spring landscapes.
