Narcissus 'Accent'

Accent Daffodil

Narcissus 'Accent' produces elegant spring flowers with creamy white petals surrounding a softly ruffled cup in warm shades of salmon pink. Each bloom stands on sturdy stems above fresh green foliage, offering light fragrance and dependable seasonal color that returns reliably year after year. Its graceful form and gentle contrast make it an appealing choice for mixed bulb displays and perennial plantings.

This large-cupped daffodil blooms in mid-spring with generously sized flowers well suited for borders, cutting gardens, containers, and naturalized drifts beneath trees.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
