That it is allowed for one of our own seedlings to carry this name is an honour. It was a bulb grower pur sang who asked the Anotoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital in Amsterdam if it was okay to name a Daffodil after Queen Beatrix, as thanks for the good care they took for his wife. Former Queen Beatrix is patroness of this notable hospital.
The proposal was to this to as a tribute to the club of volunteers who offer careful services to the patients and give a little bit more comfort to their lives. The volunteers embraced the bulb growers request, their logo is also a Daffodil. but the volunteers did ask him if they could choose the Daffodil themselves. I was so happy that they choose this Daffodil, for me this was by far my nicest yellow trumpet seedling, they could not have picked a better one.
cPerfect symmetrical contours and a rich colour; this Daffodil represents Royalty. This Daffodil can look forward to a lovely future, she is lovesome chosen by loving people who do nothing else than sharing their love… and then such a beautiful name. I sincerely hope Queen Beatrix will planted with love in your garden.

Daffodil planting and care
Plant daffodil bulbs in autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Loosen the soil thoroughly, then plant the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Leave around 5 to 10 cm between the bulbs.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Avoid leaving the bulbs in persistently wet soil, as this can cause them to rot. In a suitable position, daffodils can return for many years and gradually multiply.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for daffodil bulbs.
You can order daffodil bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the next planting season. We take care of the proper storage and only ship the bulbs when the autumn planting season begins. This means you receive fresh bulbs at the right time for planting and a strong start in the garden.
Daffodil bulbs are planted in autumn, before the ground freezes. They will then flower in spring.
For a full display, Fluwel recommends around 40 daffodil bulbs per square metre. For miniature daffodils such as Tête-à-Tête, around 80 bulbs per square metre can be used.
Yes. Daffodils are reliable perennial bulbs and can continue growing in the same spot for many years. In a suitable location, they can also naturalise well.
This varies somewhat by variety. Daffodils grow well in sunny locations, while several varieties are also suitable for partial shade, so it is best to check the requirements of the individual variety.
Fluwel recommends removing the faded flowers after flowering. This allows the plant’s energy to go back into the bulb and helps prepare it for flowering again in the following season.
