Please Make Sure When Buying These Bulbs That You Don’t Buy Too Small A Bulb Or They Won’t Flower, They Will Only Throw Green Leaves And Take 2-3 Years To Flower. Under A Size 10 Will Only Throw 40% Flowerage At Best. These Bulbs Are A Good Flowering Size.

One Of The Most Popular “Pink” Daffodils, The Large-Cup Hybrid “Salome” Was Also One Of The Earliest To Be Introduced (1960). It Has Smooth, Rounded, Creamy White Petals And A Long Narrow, Funnel-Shaped Cup Which Opens Yellow But Matures To Soft Pinkish-Orange With An Orange-Yellow Rim. They Are Borne On Medium-Tall Stems From Mid-To Late Spring.

“Salome” Has Received The Royal Horticultural Society’s Award Of Garden Merit (Agm) Which Is For Plants Of Outstanding Excellence.

Like All Daffodils “Salome” Is A Superb And Long Lasting Cut Flower. In The Landscape It Pairs Well With Tulips, Hyacinths, Muscaris And Spring Blooming Perennials And Shrubs. It Is Also Wonderful For Planting In Showy Masses. They Are Excellent For Beds, Borders, In Containers And Pots.

These Are Some Of The Easiest Bulbs To Grow. They Prefer Full To Part Sun And Require Average Fertile Soil. After Blooming, It Is Good To Let Their Green Tops Photosynthesize To Allow Them To Store Plenty Of Fuel For Next Spring’s Display. Once Their Leaves Start To Turn Yellow, They Can Be Cut To The Ground. Divide Them In Summer If Bloom Or Vigour Dwindles.
