Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.
'Pink Pacific'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' has the serene, softly lit beauty of a spring morning before anyone has thought to spoil it with a to-do list. Broad ivory-white petals sit around a gently frilled cup, flushed apricot-pink at the rim and warmed with buttery yellow at the heart. The effect is refined rather than sugary, a daffodil with just enough blush to feel special. Plant Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' in borders, spring containers or naturalised drifts through grass, where its pale colouring can glow beautifully in soft light. Elegant and fresh, Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' is particularly lovely near paths, doors and windows, where the detail can be properly admired.
Like the best spring bulbs, Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' asks for very little once planted, yet returns with the sort of poise that suggests considerable effort. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position with free-draining soil, and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can gather strength for the following year. Its gentle colouring makes Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' easy to pair with white tulips, primroses, muscari or fresh green perennials just beginning to stir. For cut flowers, it brings a clean, graceful note to arrangements, especially when gathered with restraint. Soft, luminous and quietly charming, Narcissus 'Pink Pacific' is spring elegance with a peachy little wink.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
