Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish their root systems before the ground freezes, ensuring a healthy bloom come mid-spring.
Yes, Flower Record daffodils are naturally resistant to deer, rabbits, and squirrels. Their taste and scent are generally unappealing to these animals, making them a reliable choice for gardens prone to wildlife browsing.
Absolutely. Their 14 to 18-inch height makes them well-suited for containers. Just ensure your pots have good drainage to prevent the bulbs from sitting in water, which can cause rot.
Plant each bulb at a depth of 6 inches. Space them 4 to 5 inches apart to give the roots enough room to develop while still achieving a full, dense look when they bloom.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. With proper care and planting in the correct hardiness zones (3 through 9), they will go dormant after blooming and return to flower again the following spring.
They are flexible and thrive in both full sun and partial shade. While they will perform well in either, providing at least six hours of sunlight will typically result in the most vibrant flower production.
