'Pink Charm' is one of the rare pink daffodils. The petals are pure white, and the large cup shades from ivory through apricot to a strong coral pink at the wavy rim. A reliable, long-lived variety that brings variety to the yellow spring.

About this variety

Pink tones are rare in daffodils, and 'Pink Charm' shows them particularly beautifully. The wide, funnel-shaped cup is ivory at the base, turns apricot towards the outside and ends in a wavy coral-pink edge. The colour is strongest when freshly opened and later softens. Behind the cup stand the broad petals in clear white.

At around 45–55 cm tall, it suits beds, borders and the woodland edge. It looks best in larger groups. Next to yellow daffodils it makes a soft contrast, and with blue grape hyacinths or pink tulips it creates a romantic picture. In light shade the pink colour develops particularly well. It is also an eye-catcher in containers.

As a cut flower, 'Pink Charm' is very popular. Voles and deer mostly avoid daffodils, and this variety multiplies reliably into dense clumps. A small bouquet of 'Pink Charm' with a few branches of cherry or forsythia looks light and springlike. The strong stems hold the flowers upright in the vase as well.

Planting

Plant the bulbs from September to December with the tip pointing upwards, 10–15 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart. A partially shaded spot with filtered light brings out the pink colour best, though sun works just as well. The soil should be free-draining and moist. Plant in clumps of ten or more bulbs.

Care

Pinch off faded flowers and leave the foliage until it turns yellow. In a meadow, only mow after that. You can divide dense clumps after a few years. Daffodils are poisonous, and their sap makes other flowers in the vase wilt faster, so stand cut stems in water on their own for a few hours first.
