Dutch Master' was introduced as an improved successor to the legendary but less robust 'King Alfred' daffodil, and it has since become one of the most widely planted daffodils in the world.

The quintessential large, golden-yellow daffodil, 'Dutch Master' is a world-famous Trumpet variety that has become a modern icon of spring. It is celebrated for its huge, robust flowers, which feature broad, rich golden-yellow petals (perianth) and a magnificent, flared, and ruffled trumpet of the same pure, uniform colour. Standing tall and proud on exceptionally strong, weather-resistant stems, this variety is a reliable and vigorous performer, blooming with incredible impact in early to mid-spring. 'Dutch Master' is the go-to choice for creating bold, classic swathes of colour in borders, for naturalising in lawns, and for a long-lasting, traditional spring bouquet.

Where to Plant:

Considered a modern classic and an improvement on the famous 'King Alfred', 'Dutch Master' is a superb all-round trumpet daffodil. It produces large, robust, golden-yellow flowers with a classic flared trumpet. It is incredibly versatile and a reliable choice for any garden scheme. Plant it in formal borders, in containers, or for naturalising in large, impressive drifts in lawns, on banks, or in woodland areas. It is very adaptable, growing happily in full sun or partial shade in any reasonable, well-drained soil.

How to Plant:

You should plant the bulbs in the autumn for a glorious spring display. Dig a hole and plant each bulb about 15cm (6 inches) deep, which is roughly twice the height of the bulb itself. Make sure the pointed end is facing the sky. If you are planting in grass for a natural look, a great method is to scatter the bulbs across the area and then plant them wherever they happen to land. Space them about 10-15cm apart.

Aftercare:

This is a very low-maintenance and rewarding daffodil that will form impressive clumps over time. Once the flowers have faded, it is good practice to deadhead them. The most critical task is to let the long, grassy foliage die back on its own for at least six weeks after flowering. Do not cut it back or mow the area during this time, as this is when the leaves are feeding the bulb for next year's performance.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
