'Erlicheer' bears six to twelve small double flowers on each stem, reminiscent of miniature roses or gardenias. They are creamy white with a butter-yellow centre and have a very strong, sweet scent. One of the loveliest daffodils for the vase and for forcing indoors.

About this variety

The flowers of 'Erlicheer' hardly look like daffodils. Each is only about 4 cm across, densely double and resembles a small rose. Up to twelve of them sit in a cluster on one stem. The petals are creamy white, with butter-yellow segments glowing between them. The scent is sweet and very strong.

At around 30–40 cm tall, it suits beds near a seating area, rock gardens and above all pots. Indoors it is easy to force and then flowers as early as winter. In the garden it likes a warm, sunny spot. Combine it with blue grape hyacinths, white tulips or violas. In a window box near the door it also releases its scent.

In the vase 'Erlicheer' is unbeatable: a few stems are enough to fill a room with fragrance. In a suitable spot the bulbs return every year. Voles and deer usually leave daffodils alone. The double flowers offer bees hardly any food.

Planting

Plant the bulbs from September to November, 10–15 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart, with the tip upwards. A sunny, warm spot with free-draining soil is ideal. For forcing, set the bulbs close together in pots and keep them in a bright, cool place.

Care

Cut off faded flower heads; leave the foliage until it turns yellow. In exposed locations, protect the planting spot with leaves in winter. Divide dense clumps after a few years. Freshly cut daffodils release a slime into the water that harms other flowers: stand them on their own for a few hours before mixing them.
