Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Daffodil 'Golden King Alfred' bulbs are the ideal choice for gardeners seeking a reliable, classic spring display of large, vibrant yellow trumpets. They are perfect for beginners and experienced horticulturalists alike, offering versatility for borders, container gardening, or naturalizing under trees; however, users must be patient in allowing the foliage to die back completely after the blooming season to ensure the bulbs return with vigor the following year.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Golden King Alfred bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, prior to the ground freezing, to allow roots to establish.

Can I grow these in pots?

Yes, they perform very well in containers as long as you provide adequate drainage and consistent moisture.

Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?

No, they are excellent for naturalizing and can be left in the ground year-round.

How deep should I plant them?

You should plant them at a depth of approximately 10cm.

Are these bulbs deer or rabbit resistant?

Daffodils generally have a bitter taste that makes them less attractive to deer and rabbits compared to other bulbs.

Can I plant them in total shade?

While they tolerate semi-shade, they will bloom best and develop stronger stems in full sun or partial sun.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to bloom in spring

Ensure bulbs were planted at the correct 10cm depth and received enough cold exposure over the winter.

Stems are bending or falling over

This often indicates a lack of sunlight; ensure the plants are in full sun or light semi-shade.

Flowers appear smaller year after year

This is likely due to the foliage being cut back too soon the previous year. Allow the plant to die back completely to restore nutrients.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable and classic bloom variety
  • Strong stems ideal for cut flowers
  • Easy to naturalize in lawn or woodland areas
  • Good performance in both full sun and semi-shade
  • High value pack size for large planting projects

Cons

  • Requires foliage to die back naturally, which some find untidy
  • Cannot be harvested for indoor blooms before the outdoor season ends
  • Specific planting depth of 10cm is required for optimal health

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, plant your bulbs in autumn. Dig a hole approximately 10cm deep and space each bulb 10cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development. The soil should be moist but well-drained; if you have heavy clay soil, consider adding grit or organic matter to the base of the planting hole. Once the flowers have finished, avoid the urge to trim the yellowing leaves immediately. The foliage must remain until it turns brown and withers, as it is actively feeding the bulb for next year's energy. Keep the area marked so you do not accidentally dig into the bulbs while they are dormant during the summer months.
