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.
'Outright Orange'
daffodil
Few spring flowers make such a confident entrance as Narcissus 'Outright Orange', a variety that seems to glow with its own inner warmth. Each bloom opens with yellow petals, forming the perfect stage for an exuberant, richly ruffled cup in vivid orange. Remarkably broad and almost fully covering the petals beneath, the corona of Narcissus 'Outright Orange' creates a bold, painterly effect that draws the eye from afar. Even under bright, direct sunlight, the colour remains rich and true, lending a lively, dependable brilliance to borders, containers or naturalised drifts. It’s a daffodil with presence, yet never without charm.
Flowering in mid to late spring, Narcissus 'Outright Orange' pairs beautifully with both softer pastels and more vibrant companions, offering contrast and cohesion in equal measure. Its sturdy stems stand well against the elements, making Narcissus 'Outright Orange' as reliable as it is striking in the garden or vase. Plant generously in well-drained soil where it can bask in sunlight or light shade, returning year after year with increasing vigour. Whether brightening a quiet corner or enlivening a more exuberant scheme, Narcissus 'Outright Orange' brings a sense of joy that feels entirely effortless.

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.
