Pink Charm Daffodil Bulb

Pink Charm Daffodil Bulbs bring classic daffodil blooms with a twist: pure white blooms with a blush colored center cup. Let the large cupped daffodil foliage die back naturally, and they will come back year after year. Recommended spacing for fall planted Pink Charm Daffodil bulbs is 4 inches apart at a depth of 6 inches.

Planting Instructions:

• - Plant Pink Charm daffodil bulbs in the fall, ideally 6-8 weeks before the first hard frost.
• - Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil for optimal growth.
• - Dig holes about 6-8 inches deep, spacing bulbs 4-6 inches apart.
• - Place bulbs with the pointed end facing up in the hole.

Soil Preparation:

• - Daffodils thrive in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
• - Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 for the best results.
• - If the soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage.

Watering Specifics:

• - Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting to help establish roots.
• - Maintain consistently moist soil during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging.
• - After blooming, reduce watering and allow the foliage to die back naturally.

Fertilizer Type:

• - Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer at planting to promote strong root development.
• - A second application can be done in early spring when new growth appears.
• - Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they may encourage foliage growth over blooms.

Pruning and Care:

• - Deadhead spent blooms to redirect energy into the bulbs.
• - Allow the leaves to remain until they yellow and die back naturally; this aids bulb energy storage.
• - Remove yellowed leaves only after they have completely withered.

• - Pink Charm daffodils are relatively pest-resistant, but keep an eye out for aphids or bulb flies.
• - Use insecticidal soap for any pest control if necessary.
