Known for its large, ruffled, carnation-like double flowers in shades of golden yellow, this bulb is easy to cultivate in moist, well-drained soil.

FAQs
When is the best time to plant these bulbs?
Daffodils are typically planted in the autumn months to allow roots to establish before the spring bloom.
Can I plant them in containers?
Yes, Dick Wilden daffodils are excellent for containers provided the pots have good drainage.
How deep should I plant the bulbs?
Plant the bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4 inches).
Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?
No, they can be left in the ground to naturalize, provided the soil remains well-drained.
Why are my flowers smaller this year?
This is usually due to overcrowding or the bulb depleting its energy stores. Consider dividing the clumps after the foliage has died back.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to sprout
Check if the soil is too wet and causing rot, or if the bulbs were planted too deep.
Stems flopping over
This is often due to lack of sunlight or too much fertilizer. Ensure they are in a sunny spot and avoid nitrogen-heavy fertilizers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Soil Preparation: Ensure the planting area features well-drained, moist soil. If your soil is heavy clay, mix in grit or compost to improve drainage.
Planting Depth: Bury bulbs at a depth of 10cm (4 inches), ensuring the pointed end is facing upwards.
Spacing: Maintain a distance of 10cm (4 inches) between each bulb to allow sufficient room for root development and nutrient access.
Light Requirements: These bulbs thrive in full sun but will also perform well in semi-shaded areas.
Aftercare: Once flowering has ceased, do not cut the foliage back until it has turned yellow and withered naturally. This step is critical as the leaves are still photosynthesizing, storing energy in the bulb for next year's growth.
