Narcissus 'Salome'
large cupped daffodil bulbs
The flowers of this large-cupped daffodil can grow up to 9cm across, so they put on an impressive display when they appear in early spring. One of the most intriguing features of this pretty daff however is the way the ruffled cup changes in colour from butter yellow to apricot as the flower matures. Bred in Ireland in 1958 by Lionel Richardson, it is still as popular today as it ever was.
