A stylish miniature Daff with soft yellow petals, blushing white and a long, peach trumpet. The narrow, upright green foliage grows towards the flowers but always below, allowing them to steal the show. An unusual and much sought after colour combination. Each mid season bloom is around 10cm across which is impressive for a Cyclamineus form. They have a strong, sweet fragrance.

Plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. This depth will help protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem.
Space your Daffodils 5-10cm or apart. Planting them closer will give a more dramatic display. We like to plant ours three to a hole as this creates in instant effect. When you use this method in garden beds, with smaller clumps of bulbs more often, you get the joy of repetition. Another benefit is that when the foliage dies back it is more inconspicuous.
Once the flowering has finished, it is ideal to remove the flower stem; simply snap or snip the finished flower off. This has two advantages; the first is that it stops the plant focusing on unnecessary seed production, so you can increase your bulb numbers and size, secondly it looks better.
Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed, this is when the bulbs are gathering energy and nutrients for next year’s blooms. Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, adding a little general purpose fertiliser will help provide for next year’s display. Daffodils appreciate Potash and slow release fertilisers which are low in nitrogen (so you get more flowers and less foliage). Don’t be too heavy handed, you won’t need much as they are not heavy feeders.
