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 cant help you. 

An all time favourite, that will cheer up even the grumpiest of passers by!  Full yellow blooms. This is the best trumpet daffodil, for cool to temperate climates, and flowers early in the season.

Loved for generations, did you know that 'King Alfred' is THE most popular Daffodil in the world? and for good reason. Hardy and adaptable to a variety of conditions. The golden flowers are large and long lasting.

Give them plenty of sun and well drained soil and 'she'll be right'!  We chose the best varieties for our Australian conditions so you are guaranteed success.

Remember to plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. The depth will protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem. Space your Daffodils about 10-20cm apart, more if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise, as they will multiply over time. Imagine that.. they keep having babies! 

Once the flowering has finished, you can remove the flower stem, but its super important to allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed, if you want them to flower next year. You see, the Daffodil foliage gathers energy and nutrients at this time for next year’s blooms.

Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release fertiliser brands, which are low in nitrogen (this means more flowers and less foliage) but they are not heavy feeders.
