Trumpet Daffodil 'Pink Charm' (Narcissus)

Trumpet Daffodil 'Pink Charm': A Modern Pink Trumpet

Narcissus 'Pink Charm' is a Trumpet Daffodil (Division 1) introduced in 1977 by de Jager-van Eeden. It features broad, overlapping white petals and a long, funnel-shaped trumpet that opens pale yellow and develops a distinct, clear pink rim at maturity. The flower is large and of excellent substance, borne on a strong 16-18 inch stem in mid-spring.

Breeding Advancement

Pink trumpets were a major breeding goal. 'Pink Charm' represents a significant step, with a stable, attractive pink rim. Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil, full sun to part shade. It is a vigorous grower and good perennializer. The pink rim is most pronounced in cool, bright conditions. A beautiful modern daffodil.
