Narcissus Golden Ducat

Narcissus Golden Ducat is a double flowering daffodil descended from the classic trumpet daffodil King Alfred. It is a glorious double in pure yellow with no visible corona (trumpet). Layers of petals grow from the centre getting larger as they grow out wards. Some double narcissus can have flowers too heavy for the stems but Narcissus Golden Ducat has just the right balance. A large head held high on strong stems up to 40cm tall.

These narcissus bulbs are grown in the UK. Our warehouse is based in the centre of the daffodil growing fields of Lincolnshire. The rich soil and endless flat fields are the perfect place to grow daffodils. During March and April the landscape is filled with yellow. It’s a wonderful sight.

Planting Daffodil bulbs

Plant these daffodil bulbs in autumn and expect to see the flowers emerge in March. Plant daffodil bulbs in autumn, at one-and-a-half times their own depth, slightly deeper in light soils or grass. Daffodil bulbs prefer well-drained soil that is moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun or light dappled shade.

Daffodil are relatively low maintenance and will come back year-on-year. Ensure you leave the foliage to die right back so that the bulb can gather enough energy to produce new flowers the following year.
