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.
Narcissus 'Pumpkin Spice' brings a warm, autumnal flair to the spring garden—yes, you read that right. With amber-yellow petals and a somewhat flattish cup in a rich pumpkin-orange tone, this daffodil feels like a cosy jumper in flower form. The warm tones bring an unexpected depth to seasonal displays, creating a glowing contrast against more traditional yellows and whites. Narcissus 'Pumpkin Spice' glows in the low spring light, adding a sense of warmth and richness just when the garden’s waking up.
This variety is as reliable as it is eye-catching, thriving in sunny or lightly shaded spots with well-drained soil. Plant Narcissus 'Pumpkin Spice' in generous drifts through borders or scatter a few in pots near the front door for maximum effect. Its unusual colouring makes it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to extend their daffodil collection beyond the usual yellow and white. And while it might not taste like a latte, Narcissus 'Pumpkin Spice' certainly delivers the same level of seasonal comfort. Whether you're after something different or simply enjoy a bit of tonal depth, this daffodil is a delightfully warm addition to the spring scene.

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.
