One Of The Most Popular Pink Daffodils, The Large-Cup Hybrid Salome Was Also One Of The Earliest To Be Introduced (1960). It Has Smooth, Rounded, Creamy White Petals And A Long Narrow, Funnel-Shaped Cup Which Opens Yellow But Matures To Soft Pinkish-Orange With An Orange-Yellow Rim. They Are Borne On Medium-Tall Stems From Mid-To Late Spring.

Salome Has Received The Royal Horticultural Societys Award Of Garden Merit (Agm) Which Is For Plants Of Outstanding Excellence.

Like All Daffodils Salome Is A Superb And Long Lasting Cut Flower. In The Landscape It Pairs Well With Tulips, Hyacinths, Muscaris And Spring Blooming Perennials And Shrubs. It Is Also Wonderful For Planting In Showy Masses. They Are Excellent For Beds, Borders, In Containers And Pots.

These Are Some Of The Easiest Bulbs To Grow. They Prefer Full To Part Sun And Require Average Fertile Soil. After Blooming, It Is Good To Let Their Green Tops Photosynthesize To Allow Them To Store Plenty Of Fuel For Next Springs Display. Once Their Leaves Start To Turn Yellow, They Can Be Cut To The Ground. Divide Them In Summer If Bloom Or Vigour Dwindles.
