Daffodil 'Accent'

Overlapping, ivory petals crowned with a prominent, ribbed, salmon red cup. They open mid to late season and stretch up to 10cm across. Daffodil 'Accent' is famed for its no fade, strong sun resistance and strong growth.

You can take advantage of the large variety of daffodils available to create a symphony of colours and textures in your garden or containers. Don't forget, by choosing early mid and late flowering varieties you can enjoy daffodils from June to October.

Daffodils are easy and they like the simple things in life; plenty of sun and a well drained soil.

Plant daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. The depth will protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem. Space your Daffodils 10cm or apart. You can allow more space if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise. Planting them closer will give a more dramatic display. We like to plant ours three to a hole to create instant effects.

Once the flowering has finished you can remove the flower stem (this stops the plant focusing on seed production and will increase your bulb).

Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed as this is when the bulbs are gathering energy and nutrients for next year's blooms. Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release fertiliser brands which are low in nitrogen (this means more flowers and less foliage), and you won't need much as they are not heavy feeders.

Daffodil 'Accent' is Division 2, Large Cupped.

IN POTS:
This is our recommendation for the best display, keeping in mind bulbs look best when planted nice and close together.

14cm/6" = 3 bulbs
20cm/8" = 6 bulbs
25cm/10" = 10 bulbs
