Narcissus
'Pipit'
daffodil
This elegant jonquilla daffodil will provide a cheery performance wherever it’s planted, be it pots, borders or through grass, although it’s a particularly popular and useful choice for naturalising and growing in shady or woodland spaces. Despite its delicate looks, Narcissus ‘Pipit’ is as tough as old boots - thriving in sun or shade and taking each year in its stride, putting on an easy and rewarding display which just gets better and better every time.
Producing multiple blooms per stem, you can expect a long-lasting zesty display of lemon-yellow which will bring effortless spring cheer to your garden during March and April. ‘Pipit’s yellow blooms with a glowing white trumpet means it provides its own two-tone contrast, but for added depth and contrast, try combining it with woodland blues, such as bluebells, chionodoxa or anemones. There’s nothing better in spring than a good supply of fresh-cut daffodils to display in your home, and Narcissus ‘Pipit’ provides it by the plenty. Multiple blooms per stem, the ability to naturalise and produce more flowering stems each year plus an impressive vase life is a winning combination for anyone who like to create beautiful indoor arrangements.

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.
