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 mid-spring.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. They are known for naturalizing, meaning they will reliably return and potentially spread over time if planted in suitable conditions.
Daffodils are naturally unpalatable to deer and rabbits due to their chemical composition. While no plant is 100% immune, these are an excellent choice for gardens where wildlife browsing is a common concern.
Absolutely. Because they reach a modest height of 6 to 14 inches, they are well-suited for container gardening. Ensure your pots have good drainage to keep the bulbs healthy.
These daffodils thrive in well-drained soil and perform best in locations that receive full sun to partial shade. Proper drainage is essential to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the dormant season.
You should plant these bulbs at a depth of 6 inches. Spacing them at about 6 bulbs per square foot will provide a nice, full look once they bloom.
