Golden Dawn Daffodil Bulbs

Premium 14/16 Golden Dawn bulbs. Fragrant clusters of light-yellow flowers with warm orange cups create an elegant, multi-flowered display. Typically flowering in April and reaching around 45–50cm. Excellent for sheltered borders, containers and cutting.

The display

Rather than one large trumpet, Golden Dawn carries clusters of lightly scented flowers in warm yellow and orange. The multi-flowered stems create a generous display and give spring arrangements a looser, more natural character.

Planting advice

Plant during September–November with the growing point uppermost where it is visible. Set the bulbs or corms approximately 10–15cm deep and 10–15cm apart. Choose full sun or partial shade; sheltered position in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Water after planting if the soil is dry, but avoid ground that remains waterlogged.

Aftercare

After flowering, remove spent blooms if desired and leave the foliage in place for at least six weeks, or until it yellows naturally. Established clumps can be divided when flowering begins to decline.

Planting & Care

When & Where to Plant

Plant from September to November in full sun or partial shade. Choose moderately fertile soil that stays reasonably moist in spring but drains well through winter.

Spacing & Depth

  • Plant pointed end upwards at 10–15cm deep.
  • Allow 10–15cm between bulbs.
  • For natural-looking displays, scatter bulbs and plant them where they fall.

Containers & Naturalising

Daffodils grow well in pots, borders and grass. In lawns, delay mowing until the foliage has yellowed and died back. Avoid permanently wet sites.

Variety-specific Advice

Golden Dawn is a fragrant, multi-flowered tazetta daffodil and is less hardy than the H6 varieties in the range. In colder or exposed gardens, use a sheltered site or grow it in a container that can be protected from severe frost.

After Flowering

Deadhead spent blooms, but do not cut or tie the leaves. Allow at least six weeks for the foliage to die back naturally. Congested clumps can be lifted and divided after flowering.
