If you love the 'Erlicheer', then you should give the larger double-bloomed 'Obdam' a try. The blooms will be 2-3" across and bloom in mid to late April. This flower is fragrant and looks amazing in the garden or cut and added to flower arrangements. The bloom looks more like a camellia or peony than a normal daffodil. The layers of petals are ivory-white with a hint of yellow in the center that will also turn ivory as the bloom matures. is a double white flower packed with fragrance. Blooms: The 'Obdam' daffodil has an elegant and attractive appearance. The large blooms feature multiple layers of cream petals. Plant: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoiding too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole. Landscaping Tip: Narcissus bloom at different times so as one daffodil is ending its bloom time another is just beginning. We like to say that "there is a bulb that blooms every week of the year in warmer climates." Your garden can have consistent flowers that you can enjoy inside or outside for months and carry you all the way from February through April. Animals: Like other daffodil bulbs, critters, including deer and gophers, leave this bulb alone. However, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are attracted to the blooms and sweet-smelling flowers. There are so many blooms on each stalk that they don't have to fight over each flower.
