Mini Daffodil Polar Hunter

Mini Daffodil ‘Polar Hunter’ is a truly distinctive spring bulb that immediately captures attention with its unusual colouring. Unlike the familiar bright yellow daffodils, this elegant variety opens in soft shades of olive and chartreuse green that gradually soften to creamy white as the flowers mature. The subtle transformation creates a refined, luminous look that feels fresh and sophisticated in the early spring garden.

This remarkable daffodil was bred in New Zealand by hybridiser John A. Hunter and introduced in 2020. Part of its unique appearance comes from its heritage, which includes the rare green-flowering species Narcissus viridiflorus. That lineage gives Polar Hunter its soft green glow and gentle colour shifts throughout the blooming period.

Each graceful stem produces up to four flowers, giving the plant a light, airy appearance rather than the single bold bloom typical of many daffodils. The blossoms are also wonderfully fragrant, releasing a sweet perfume reminiscent of jasmine and honey on warm spring days.

Growing about 30–35 cm tall, Mini Daffodil Polar Hunter is ideal for the front of borders, rock gardens, woodland plantings, or containers. Its compact size also makes it perfect for planting along paths or near patios where its delicate scent can be enjoyed up close. Plant in groups or drifts and it will naturalise easily, returning reliably year after year.

With its cool green tones, ivory petals and graceful fragrance, Mini Daffodil Polar Hunter offers a rare and elegant alternative to traditional daffodils, bringing subtle beauty and charm to the spring garden.
