Narcissus ‘Slim Whitman’

Narcissus ‘Slim Whitman’ is daffodil poise in its purest form—tall, lithe, and composed with a singer’s elegance. Its creamy white petals sweep back in clean, graceful lines, setting the stage for a long, slender trumpet of the softest primrose yellow. The bloom has a clarity to it, almost architectural, as though drawn with a precise hand and then softened by spring light. Where many daffodils revel in ruffles, ‘Slim Whitman’ finds beauty in restraint—each flower a note held clear and true.

There is a freshness to its coloring—bright without glare, creamy without heaviness—that makes it a natural companion in any spring planting. The flowers carry themselves with an easy dignity, rising on tall, upright stems that move lightly in the breeze. It is not a daffodil that clamors for attention, but one that rewards a closer look, offering purity, calm, and quiet charm.

Flowering in mid-spring, ‘Slim Whitman’ reaches up to 16–18 inches (40–45 cm), its slender stems rising above the green with effortless grace. It holds well in the border, lending height and rhythm, and cuts beautifully for the vase, where its clean lines and soft tones bring a lift of freshness indoors.

Position: Plant in full sun or light shade, in soil that drains well but holds enough moisture for spring growth. Its pale tones catch the light most beautifully in drifts or clumps, where repetition makes their tall, slim trumpets sing in chorus.

Style tip: Pair with the pale, star-like flowers of ‘Thalia’ for a refined duet, or let it stand behind lower, jewel-toned tulips to provide a luminous counterpoint. Underplant

Why it captivates: ‘Petit Four’ is a daffodil of quiet luxury—creamy petals wrapped around a ruffled heart, as intricate as a patisserie and just as irresistible. It brings not only color but texture and depth, making spring feel abundant, graceful, and alive with detail.

How to Plant & Grow Daffodils (Narcissus)

Quick Planting Guide (for product card / at a glance)

Planting time: Fall, before the ground freezes
Soil: Fertile, well-draining, moderately moist in spring
Depth & spacing: 6" deep, 4–6" apart
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Bloom: Early–late spring, depending on variety

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the bulbs
Daffodil bulbs are plump and papery-skinned, with a pointed top.
Plant as soon as possible in fall for best results.

2. Choose the planting site
Select a spot with well-drained soil — daffodils dislike waterlogged ground.
They grow well in borders, under deciduous trees, or naturalized in lawns and meadows.
Improve heavy soil with compost and grit for drainage.

3. Plant the bulbs
Plant bulbs 6" deep and 4–6" apart, in clusters or drifts for a natural effect.
Pointed end faces upward.
Water well after planting.

4. Growing on & care

• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist during active growth in spring. Reduce watering once foliage begins to yellow.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer or sprinkle compost in early spring as shoots emerge.

• Mulching: A thin layer of compost or leaf mold helps maintain soil fertility and moisture.

5. Bloom time
Depending on the cultivar, daffodils bloom from early March through late April/May.
They bring cheerful trumpets of yellow, white, cream, or orange, often fragrant.

6. After flowering
Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation, but leave foliage intact until it yellows — this feeds the bulb for next year.
Bulbs can be left in place to naturalize and multiply over time.
If clumps become overcrowded, lift and divide bulbs in summer after foliage dies back.

Tips for Success

• Plant in groups of 10+ for the best display.

• Mix early, mid, and late-season varieties for a long succession of blooms.

• Daffodils are deer- and rodent-resistant, making them reliable for naturalizing.
