Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall, before the ground freezes, to allow them to establish roots before their early spring bloom.
Yes, daffodils contain natural compounds that make them unpalatable to deer, rabbits, and other common garden pests, making them a reliable choice for unprotected garden beds.
Absolutely. Because they reach a manageable height of 12 to 18 inches, they perform very well in pots and containers, provided the container has adequate drainage.
No, these are perennial bulbs. If planted in the correct hardiness zones (3 through 9) and given proper care, they will return and bloom year after year.
For the best results, plant them in a location that receives full sun. While they can tolerate some light shade, full sun ensures the most vibrant color and strongest stems.
Space the bulbs 4 to 5 inches apart. This allows enough room for the clumping, upright growth habit while ensuring the display looks full and lush once they bloom.
