This is what you call a 50 km per hour Narcissus. That does not mean that this Narcissus grows at such a speed, no, what I mean here is that you can drive past it at 50 km per hour and still enjoy it to the fullest. You really do not have to stop to get a good look at this Narcissus.
It was exactly the same when I discovered this Narcissus. I was visiting bulb grower Paul van Exel on Texel to do a round of his Narcissi. It was already a bit later in the day and we had to hurry to catch the boat. So we drove fast and when we were just about to turn around one of the fields I asked; hey Paul, what is that in the distance. Oh, that's another seedling, let's drive over there Paul, I want to see that. What a colour and what big flowers. Did you buy this Narcissus from Veul last year? Yes, how do you know that. I know this Narcissus I told him, it's a seedling of Fortissimo and it comes from England, Cornwall, from Mark Vandervliet. Beautiful thing man, take good care of it, make a batch of it quickly. There are already quite a few Carlos, if you can think of a good name for it you can offer one in your webshop.
Paul's company is called Texelsun so the name was born quickly. I am glad that I can be the first to carry this colorful Narcissus. Texel Sun is just like her mother Fortissimo a very strong Narcissus for the garden and I am sure that the Texel Sun will also shine very beautifully in large parks or in roadside verges and on roundabouts.

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.
