Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in the spring.
Yes, daffodils contain natural compounds that make them unpalatable to deer, rabbits, and squirrels. They are an excellent choice for gardens where wildlife browsing is a common concern.
Absolutely. Their 14 to 18-inch height makes them well-suited for pots and containers. Just ensure your container has good drainage to prevent the bulbs from sitting in water.
No, these are hardy perennials. You can leave them in the ground year-round, and they will naturally return each spring as long as they are planted in a suitable hardiness zone.
They thrive in full sun to partial shade. For the most vibrant blooms, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep to protect them from temperature fluctuations. Space them 4 to 5 inches apart to give each plant enough room to develop its root system.
