Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall, ideally before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in mid-spring.
Yes, Tahiti Double Daffodils are perennials. They are excellent for naturalizing, meaning they will return each spring and gradually multiply into larger, lush clumps over time.
Yes, these daffodils are considered deer and rabbit resistant. The taste and scent of the bulbs are generally unappealing to local wildlife, making them a reliable choice for gardens prone to animal browsing.
Absolutely. Tahiti Double Daffodils perform very well in containers, provided the pot has good drainage. Ensure the container is deep enough to accommodate the 6-inch planting depth.
It is important to let the foliage die back naturally and turn yellow before trimming it. The leaves are busy collecting energy from the sun to store in the bulb, which is essential for healthy blooms next season.
They thrive in full sun to partial sun. For the most robust blooms, aim for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
