Over 100,000 daffodil bulbs have been planted in the City of White Plains since 2014 when White Plains Beautification Foundation started The Daffodil Project. With the expertise of Walter & Chris Ruigrok from A.D.R. Bulbs our public spaces have dazzled with daffodils. A.D.R. offers a wonderful range of choices and excellent quality bulbs at competitive pricing, and supported by excellent customer service. WPBF values its long-standing relationship with A.D.R.

Narcissus 'Amsterdam Mix' is a diverse blend featuring daffodils from all major classes, including trumpet, large-cupped, small-cupped, double, triandrus, and jonquilla varieties. The mix showcases a range of yellow hues, from soft buttery tones to deep golden shades, with some blooms featuring ruffled cups or multi-layered petals for added texture. The flowers appear in early to late spring, ensuring an extended bloom period.
Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Amsterdam Mix' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. It naturalizes well, returning reliably each year. This mix is ideal for mass plantings, offering a continuous display of daffodil varieties throughout the season.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. For a natural look, scatter and plant where they land.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Mixed daffodils thrive under deciduous trees or in open beds.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Requires a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 4 to 5 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
