Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is a reliable perennial. It is known to naturalize well, meaning it will return and potentially multiply in your garden for years when planted in suitable conditions.
Yes, daffodils contain natural compounds that make them unpalatable to deer and rodents. They are an excellent choice for landscapes where wildlife pressure is a concern.
For the best visual impact, we recommend a planting density of 4 to 5 bulbs per square foot. This spacing allows the multi-flowering stems to create a lush, clustered appearance.
Erlicheer daffodils perform best in full sun to partial shade. While they can tolerate some shade, they will produce the most robust blooms and strongest stems when provided with at least a few hours of direct sunlight daily.
Plant your bulbs at a depth of 6 inches. This depth helps protect the bulbs from temperature fluctuations and ensures they are properly anchored for the spring growing season.
Absolutely. Their elegant double blooms and sweet, pervasive fragrance make them a favorite for floral arrangements. They hold up well in vases, allowing you to enjoy their scent inside your home.
