Daffodil 'Pink Champagne' - Tasteful Muted Colors for the Garden
Daffodil ‘Pink Champagne’ is a refined, romantic variety that sparkles in spring gardens. Its creamy-white petals are paired with a soft blush-pink trumpet that matures to a deeper rose as the bloom ages. Because of this shifting color, each flower bed has layers of charm, with blooms looking fresh and different throughout the season. In addition, ‘Pink Champagne’ is mid-season blooming, making it a perfect complement to both early and late varieties. For gardeners who want a dash of elegance with a playful twist, this daffodil delivers.
