    Aldi are selling a range of premium bulbs this Thursday 15th September, included in the range are pink Daffodil bulbs, i've not heard of them before so might buy a couple of packets to plant in with my yellow ones, pink and yellow together sounds pretty to me for the spring :)

    Has anyone else heard of them or got any in there garden?

    Hi Caz

    I had some miniature pink Daffodils in my garden in Bucks ... and I have been gone from there for 10 years so they have been around quite a while. I actually prefer them to yellow or white.

    Enjoy them!

      Caz, there is still no such thing as a genuinely pink daffodil, they tend to be a peach colour, but pretty all the same. :)

      I know my colours too Victoria having been in a similar line to you! Think we'd better throw this one open to other members and see what they have to say. :) I stick by my previous post though. :)

      If you find them Aesculus, the pictures will be pink but the actual flowers won't! :heehee:

      Hello folks, i've bought my bag of Premium Pink Daffodil bulbs, there is Salome, Replete and Pink charm 9 bulbs for £3.99, i've added a picture for each one, on the bag they do look pink and some peachy :) I will just have to see in spring time how pink they will be.

      Did you see any in your Aldi JWK? there was quite a few plants today too, some Cyclamen etc :thumb:

        Yes I saw them Caz, also the Pink tulips which looked nice. I was tempted to buy but pink doesn't match my colour scheme. There is a big selection of winter bedding plants, I would avoid the cyclamen since they are already in flower so once you got them home and planted them they will probably be past it very soon. :dbgrtmb:

        Sorry guys but I'm a traditionalist here so don't go for pink Daffs, maybe other plants, but not Daffs.
