For a bulb man like me this is a bit of a strange sounding name, the term 'Parrot' or parakeet is in my experience more connected to the Tulips with the parrot flowers. But if you look closely at the graceful flowers of this small Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' is a good name; she crumples, she ruffles, she flops and she flutters, she is simply nice and playful.
Yellow Parrot is also a really special Narcissus because until now this graceful split-crowned flower shape was only reserved for the larger Narcissi. She is actually the very first miniature Narcissus with this flower shape. Perhaps the Narcissus Wodka comes a bit close to her but that is just a tad bigger. And it seems that there is an Itsy Bitsy Splitsy in America that looks exactly like her, but so far I only know that one from photos and I think that this Yellow Parrot is a lot more graceful.
Yellow Parrot originally came from our own breeding and I am very happy that she ended up in good hands with a passionate flower bulb grower in Breezand who raised her with love.
Yellow Parrot is a unique Narcissus; richly flowering, perfect as a pot narcissus but also in the garden a sturdy and bold Narcissus. Actually she is a kind of split-crowned Tete a Tete although she does bloom a few weeks later than the Tete a Tete but with considerably more flowers.

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.
