In the garden

Narcissus 'Willems Choice' is a named cultivar within the genus Narcissus (family Amaryllidaceae), notable for its flowering season between February and April. As a bulbous spring-flowering narcissus, it belongs to the group of plants growers use to extend colour and structure through the late-winter to early-spring months. Many gardeners select named Narcissus cultivars to ensure consistent bloom timing and form year to year. Handle 'Willems Choice' as you would other spring-flowering Narcissus: bulbs are managed to produce a concentrated display when conditions trigger growth, and the predictable flowering window helps with planning companion plantings. Grouping bulbs in drifts, edging beds or combining with early perennials can maximise the effect of its February–April display. It also works well in containers where bulbs can be forced or left to naturalise, provided they have a period of seasonal dormancy. When arranging planting schemes, schedule later-spring perennials or groundcovers so they do not overwhelm the bulb foliage immediately after flowering. Because Narcissus 'Willems Choice' reliably flowers from February to April, you can plan successive plantings around that specific window to maintain continuous spring interest in beds and borders.
