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, daffodils contain alkaloids that make them unpalatable to most garden pests. They are widely considered one of the most reliable deer and squirrel-resistant bulbs you can plant.
Absolutely. These daffodils are well-suited for container planting, provided the pot has good drainage. Ensure the container is deep enough to accommodate the bulbs and keep the soil relatively dry during the winter months.
No, these are perennial bulbs. Once established, they will return reliably every spring and will naturally multiply and spread over time, requiring very little maintenance.
These daffodils thrive in well-drained soil. They are quite adaptable and can handle dry to average moisture levels, but they will not perform well in heavy, waterlogged soil that stays wet for long periods.
For the best visual impact, we recommend planting at a density of 6 bulbs per square foot. This spacing allows the flowers to create a lush, vibrant display while giving each bulb enough room to naturalize.
