Add Timeless Colour with 'Golden King Alfred' Daffodils

Narcissus 'Golden King Alfred' is a classic spring-flowering bulb renowned for its large, golden-yellow blooms and reliable garden performance. Introduced over a century ago, this variety remains a favourite among gardeners thanks to its strong stems and vibrant display.

• Breathtaking Blooms: Each bulb produces a single, trumpet-shaped flower with a cup about one-third the length of the petals—ideal for creating a striking swathe of colour in March and April.
• Growth Habit: Plants reach up to 40cm (16 inches) tall, making them perfect for borders, beds, containers, or naturalising in grassy areas.
• Proven Performer: 'Golden King Alfred' multiplies naturally over time, so you’ll enjoy even more flowers with each passing year.

Planting & Care Guide

• When to Plant: Best planted in autumn (September–November) before the first hard frost.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types but avoid waterlogged ground.
• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun or partial shade.
• Caring Tips: Plant bulbs at a depth of 10–15cm (4–6 inches) and space about 10cm apart. Water well after planting. Once established, these daffodils require minimal care—simply allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed next year’s display.
