King Alfred
The King Alfred daffodil, a celebrated variety of Narcissus, is renowned for its stunning, trumpet-shaped flowers that boast a vibrant golden-yellow hue. Each bloom typically measures around four to five inches in diameter and features a central corona that elegantly flares out, creating a striking contrast against its lush, green foliage. This enduring perennial stands tall, often reaching heights of 12 to 18 inches, making it a prominent and eye-catching addition to any spring garden.
Blooming abundantly in early to mid-spring, the King Alfred daffodil thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, showcasing its resilience across various climates. Its robust nature ensures it can withstand fluctuations in temperature, allowing it to flourish year after year with minimal care.
Gardening enthusiasts cherish the King Alfred daffodil not only for its radiant beauty but also for its role in naturalising spaces, creating a cheerful display in borders, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows. As these blossoms sway gently in the breeze, they evoke a sense of renewal and joy, inviting both admiration and tranquillity to outdoor spaces during the vibrant spring season.
