Golden Trumpet Daffodil - King Alfred

Please Note: Due to pre-existing Quarantine laws we cannot send any bulbs to Western Australia and Tasmania. You may need to find bulb suppliers in your areas. Sorry we can't help you. 

The strongest and best known of all Daffodils this variety performs exceptionally well. They can be planted in pot with other bulbs or in clumps in garden beds. You could even be very adventurous and plant them across your lawn so they give a naturalised field of flowers that just gets better and better every year. 

Children love seeing the flowers pop out of the ground and they are perfect for bringing into your home to display in a vase. 
Daffodils need a full sun position, but can tolerate some dappled light. Prepare your beds to a depth of 20cm, making sure the soil is light and fluffy. Plant the bulbs with the 'fat' end down at a depth of 6cm. Allow 10cm between each bulb, however a less full result can be achieved if you choose to plant further apart. 

If growing your Daffodils in a pot, select a high quality potting mix that is free draining. Some gravel in the base of the pot will assist with any drainage issues. Ensure the bulb is well fed and watered right up until dormancy.

Daffodils DO NOT require refrigeration, and are happy to naturalise in the ground for many years. Feed your bulbs as they come into bloom, and make sure you leave the foliage to fully die down - this feeds and grows NEXT years flower. 

Happy Gardening!
