Narcissus Kapiti Peach | Narcissus tazetta | Cut Flower

Narcissus ‘Kapiti Peach’ is an elegant modern Tazetta narcissus with beautifully soft pastel colouring and wonderfully fragrant flowers. Each stem carries clusters of blooms with milky creamy-white petals surrounding delicate peach to soft peach-orange cups, creating a warm yet refined colour combination for the spring garden and cut-flower arrangements.

One of the most attractive characteristics of Kapiti Peach is its multi-flowering habit. Rather than producing a single large flower on each stem, it develops clusters of individual blooms, creating an abundant display while maintaining the graceful appearance typical of Tazetta narcissus.

The flowers are also fragrant, an especially desirable characteristic of the Tazetta group. With its compact growth, abundant flowering and unusual pastel colouring, Kapiti Peach is a beautiful contemporary alternative to traditional Tazetta varieties.

• Small seasonal bouquets
• Mixed narcissus arrangements

Planting Narcissus Kapiti Peach Bulbs

Plant the bulbs in autumn, from September through December, allowing them to establish before winter and flower the following spring.

Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil.

For planting:

• Plant bulbs approximately 8 cm deep
• Position the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards
• Choose well-drained, fertile soil
• Water after planting if conditions are particularly dry
• Plant in groups for a fuller and more natural spring display

For cut-flower production, bulbs can be planted in dedicated beds where the stems can be harvested easily during spring.

Growing in Pots & Containers

The compact growth of approximately 35 cm makes Kapiti Peach an excellent narcissus for pots, containers and balcony planters.

Use a container with drainage holes and a good-quality, free-draining substrate. Several bulbs can be planted together to create a dense display of fragrant flowers.

Its combination of compact height, multiple flowers per stem and pastel colouring makes Kapiti Peach particularly attractive for decorative spring containers.

Naturalising in the Garden

Narcissus Kapiti Peach is suitable for naturalising and can return for many years when planted in suitable conditions.

It is particularly attractive:

• In perennial borders
• Along garden paths
• Beneath deciduous trees and shrubs
• In naturalistic garden areas
• In spring bulb beds
• Among other perennial plants

After flowering, allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed and died back naturally. The leaves continue producing energy that is stored in the bulb for the following year's growth and flowering.

Fragrant Tazetta Narcissus

One of the special qualities of Narcissus tazetta Kapiti Peach is its fragrance.

Tazetta narcissus are known for producing clusters of fragrant flowers, and Kapiti Peach combines this traditional characteristic with a much more contemporary pastel colour palette.

The fragrance makes the variety particularly attractive near entrances, terraces, pathways and seating areas, as well as for small cut-flower arrangements where its scent can be appreciated indoors.

Beautiful Combinations with Kapiti Peach

The soft colouring of Kapiti Peach makes it particularly easy to combine with other sophisticated spring shades.

Beautiful companions include:

• White and cream narcissus
• Blush and apricot tulips
• White Fritillaria
• Powder-blue Muscari
• Hellebores
• Anemones
• Ranunculus
• Other pastel spring bulbs

For a particularly soft palette, combine Narcissus Kapiti Peach with Muscari Valerie Finnis and Fritillaria meleagris Alba. The peach, creamy white, powder blue and pure white tones create an elegant pastel spring combination.
