Narcissus
'Colour Magic'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Colour Magic' is a late-season charmer with a painterly flair, opening in soft primrose yellow before revealing a beautifully ruffled cup in warm coral-apricot tones. As each bloom matures, the colour subtly deepens, shifting towards a richer salmon-orange centre that seems to glow against the gentle lemon petals. This evolving palette gives Narcissus 'Colour Magic' a sense of movement in the border, as though each flower were quietly perfecting its own composition. A light, rose-like fragrance lingers close, adding a refined softness to its already expressive presence.
Robust and upright, Narcissus 'Colour Magic' holds its generous blooms with admirable poise, making it as reliable in the garden as it is delightful indoors. Cut stems continue their colour transformation in a vase, where the interplay of pale yellow and deepening coral becomes even more pronounced. Flowering towards the close of the daffodil season, Narcissus 'Colour Magic' extends the display with a fresh yet sophisticated note, pairing beautifully with tulips and early perennials. For those drawn to nuanced colour and gentle fragrance, Narcissus 'Colour Magic' offers an experience that is both subtle and quietly captivating.

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.
