Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall, before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish their root systems during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in early spring.
Yes, daffodils contain natural compounds that make them unpalatable to common garden pests like deer, rabbits, and squirrels. They are an excellent choice if you have issues with wildlife browsing in your garden.
Absolutely. Petit Four daffodils perform very well in containers, provided the pot has adequate drainage. Ensure you plant them at the recommended depth of 6 inches to protect them from temperature fluctuations.
No, these are hardy perennials. Once planted, they will return year after year and naturally multiply, meaning your display will likely expand on its own over time.
These daffodils thrive in full sun to partial shade. For the most robust blooms, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight, though they will still perform well in dappled light.
It is important to leave the foliage intact until it turns yellow and dies back naturally. The leaves are busy absorbing sunlight to store energy in the bulb for next year's growth.
