I bought 20 bulbs last year, planted in November. All the bulbs bloomed spectacularly. A delight for the eyes, whether in pots or in the ground. I highly recommend it for lovers of a romantic atmosphere.

Narcissus 'British Gamble' is a new variety of daffodil that is still not widely known, yet it is vigorous, delightful, and spectacular. It blooms in April. Its stout stems carry magnificent white flowers adorned with a lush crown of soft salmon-pink, which is widely open on a golden throat. This sturdy variety multiplies quickly in the garden, forming beautiful clumps in sunny flower beds in just a few years. With its short and sturdy stem against the wind, it Impresses in the garden, and its flowers are sublime in bouquets.
Â
The 'British Gamble' daffodil was introduced in 2013. It belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. More precisely, it belongs to division 1 of the large family of daffodils, of which there are 13 divisions. The Narcissus genus includes about 50 species found mainly in the western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. The 'British Gamble' daffodil, like the majority of large-cupped daffodils, is the result of cross-breeding between N. poeticus and N. x pseudonarcissus, or even N. incomparabilis. The plant sends up a stout and very sturdy 40cm (16in) tall flower stem. It is an early-flowering plant, blooming in March-April, with a large yellow-green flower bud that opens into magnificent flowers, 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in) wide. The flowers have six ivory-white petaloid tepals, which are very wide. The six stamens are inserted into a cup-shaped or undulate paracorolla, with a very wavy edge. It is pale lemon-yellow when it first opens. This cup gradually takes on a pale salmon-pink hue, which is more pronounced on the very wavy edge. The foliage is deciduous and linear. It disappears in summer.Â
Â
There are so many daffodil cultivars that one can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting tired. They all have in common the ability to naturalise easily, to offer an infinite range of yellow and white shades, and to often emit sweet fragrances. Grow them in large clumps in lawns or at the edge of flower beds (at least 20 bulbs) for an enhanced effect. Pair the 'British Gamble' daffodil with bluebells and hyacinths. Plant the bulbs with double tulips, forget-me-nots, daisies, chamomiles, or liverworts. A group of 'British Gamble' daffodils in a vase creates a sensational effect. This daffodil is also perfect in pots.

Botanical data
Daffodils bloom from March to May and come back every year. They are very easy to grow and can thrive in both the shade of a woodland and a sunny flower bed. Plant them 10cm (4in) deep and spaced 10cm (4in) apart. Group them in sets of at least 5 bulbs, in uniform colours or mixed.
You can plant them in lawns. In this case, lift the grass turf, and dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20cm (8in) (the height of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil, and lay the turf back. Choose a spot where you won't mow, as the daffodil leaves must be allowed to wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb rebuilds and prepares the flowers for the following year.
Remove the flowers as soon as they fade to prevent seed formation. Leaving them will unnecessarily deplete the bulb.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
