Narcissus 'Dutch Master' is a classic trumpet daffodil producing large, brilliant golden-yellow flowers in early spring. Flowering in March and reaching around 40cm tall, this strong-growing variety is ideal for creating bold displays in borders, containers and naturalised areas. Height: about 40cm Spread: 10–15cm Flower colour: golden yellow Flowering time: March Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil About Narcissus 'Dutch Master' Narcissus 'Dutch Master' produces one large flower per stem, with broad golden-yellow perianth segments surrounding an impressive central trumpet. The trumpet is a rich golden yellow with an attractively flared and gently ruffled rim, giving the flower its unmistakable traditional daffodil appearance. 'Dutch Master' belongs to the Trumpet group of daffodils. Varieties in this group produce one flower per stem, with a corona or trumpet that is as long as, or longer than, the surrounding perianth segments.
