Sir Winston Churchill Daffodil – Double White, Sweet Scent, Multiple Blooms

Sir Winston Churchill carries up to four fragrant double flowers per stem — white petals with orange-yellow streaks through the centre, each bloom packed with enough petals to look full and generous without being blowsy. The scent is genuinely good: sweet, carrying, and noticeable from a distance. Plant a group near a path and you will smell them before you see them.

At 40cm, the stems are strong enough to support the heavy double heads in most positions, though a sheltered spot helps in exposed gardens. The multi-headed habit means fewer bulbs give a fuller display — twelve bulbs produce the effect of thirty singles.

Planting Partners

The white-and-gold colour scheme works with almost anything. Plant with Tête-à-Tête (earlier, smaller, golden yellow) for a succession of narcissi, or underplant with purple crocuses for a classic colour contrast. Browse the full daffodil collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many flowers per stem?

Typically three to four — sometimes more. This multi-headed habit (Division 4, Double) gives a generous display from relatively few bulbs. Each flower is fully double, white with yellow-orange streaks.

Do Sir Winston Churchill daffodils come back?

Reliably. Daffodils are among the best perennial bulbs. Leave the foliage to die back naturally for six weeks after flowering, and the clumps will increase each year. Divide every three to four years if they become congested.

Are these daffodils fragrant?

Notably so. The sweet scent carries well — plant near a window, entrance, or seating area to get the most from it. Multi-headed varieties tend to be more fragrant than single-headed types.
