Swept-back, pale lemon-green petals frame a slim, cylindrical rose-pink trumpet that glows pinkish-yellow at the base. Like all pink daffodils, it colors best with a little filtered afternoon shade. A compact 10-12″ charmer for the front of the border or a container.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/prototype-1.jpg?v=1790801134\" alt=\"Daffodil 'Prototype'\" width=\"600\" height=\"735\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBlooms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each 3\"+ bloom has reflexed (swept-back) petals and a long, narrow rose-pink cup, giving it a windswept look. It blooms mid-spring (April in zone 5) on compact 10-12\" stems and is hardy in zones 3-8. Plant it near a path or in pots where you can see the color up close.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePlant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoiding too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLandscaping Tip\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Narcissus bloom at different times so as one daffodil is ending its bloom time another is just beginning. We like to say that \"there is a bulb that blooms every week of the year in warmer climates.\" Your garden can have consistent flowers that you can enjoy inside or outside for months and carry you all the way from February through April.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAnimals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: Like other daffodil bulbs, critters, including deer and gophers, leave this bulb alone. Bees and other early pollinators still find their way to the blooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Southern Bulb Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44907347968051,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/prototype-1.jpg?v=1790801134","url":"https:\/\/southernbulbs.com\/products\/narcissus-daffodil-prototype","provider":"The Southern Bulb Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
