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 mid-spring.
Yes, these daffodils are naturally resistant to deer, rabbits, and squirrels. Their taste and scent are generally unappealing to these garden pests, making them a reliable choice for unprotected garden beds.
Absolutely. Their sturdy, upright stems and manageable height make them an excellent choice for containers. Just ensure your pot has good drainage to keep the bulbs healthy.
No, these are perennials. If planted in the correct hardiness zones (3-9) and given proper care, they will return and bloom again each spring.
They perform best in full sun to partial shade. While they can tolerate some shade, providing at least six hours of sunlight will ensure the most vigorous growth and vibrant blooms.
For optimal growth, plant the bulbs 6 inches deep. Space them about 4 to 5 inches apart to give each plant enough room to develop its clumping habit.
