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 Performance'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Pink Performance' is a beautifully expressive daffodil, offering a softer, more romantic take on the classic spring display. Each bloom opens with broad, ivory-white outer petals that create a calm, luminous frame for the intricately ruffled centre. The fully double corona unfolds in layers of warm peachy-pink and soft apricot tones, gently gathered and frilled as though arranged by hand. There is a natural elegance to Narcissus 'Pink Performance', with its colours shifting subtly in the light, giving each flower a slightly different nuance. Flowering in mid spring, Narcissus 'Pink Performance' brings both refinement and a touch of indulgence to borders and containers alike.
Despite its elaborate appearance, Narcissus 'Pink Performance' is reassuringly easy to grow, returning reliably each year and gradually forming generous clumps. It pairs particularly well with soft blues and fresh greens, where its warm tones can be fully appreciated without overpowering its neighbours. Narcissus 'Pink Performance' also makes a charming cut flower, its layered centre adding texture and depth to spring arrangements. Whether planted in small groups or woven through a mixed display, Narcissus 'Pink Performance' offers a graceful balance of structure and softness, making it a quietly captivating choice for the season.

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.
