'Pink Pride' Daffodil Bulbs

Narcissus 'Pink Pride'

From our wide range of quality bulbs comes this prettiest of daffodils, 'Pink Pride'. These stunning daffodils flower as if straight from the meadow of a young princess' most delightful dream.

Against the silken pastel white perianth, the trumpets open yellow at the throat fading into a wonderful orange-pink at the frilly lip; these central colours soften towards a succulent peach-pink with age.

Appearing during early-mid Spring (March time), these flowers will defrost even the most icy of hearts. As with all daffodils, 'Pink Pride' makes for an ideal cut bouquet to decorate the home.

These bulbs are available to be bought alone, or in our 'Exotic Daffodils Mix' for an even more exciting and unusual springtime display!

Reaching around 35cm (14") in height, these flowers will stand out well in any display. The dreamy, delicate appearance of 'Pink Pride' makes it perfect for placement as naturalised drifts in meadow lawns, however it will be equally at home in borders or containers. Its versatility and hardiness truly lends to its use in all kinds of locations, from city courtyards, to patio containers all the way to traditional wildflower meadows. See the full range of narcissus and daffodil bulbs we have available for sale.

These bulbs are suitable for almost all types of soil and should be planted any time during autumn (from August to November) at around 10-15cm (4-6") deep, spaced around 13cm (5") apart, and preferably in full sun (no more than half shade).

They are very hardy and shouldn't need any further protection, but if planted shallower applying mulch may help protect against harsher winter frosts. These daffodils prefer moist yet well-drained soil, and overwatering should be avoided lest the bulbs become rotten and fail. Propagation is achieved by separating offsets and replanting as the leaves are fading in early summer.

These flowers are susceptible to few pests and diseases, but those to look for in particular are: slugs; narcissus bulb fly; and basal rot.
