Will daffodil bulbs multiply?
Daffodil bulbs begin to multiply over a three- to five-year period, and they deplete the surrounding soil of nutrients. As a result, you have a thick display of stems and foliage without the bold blossoms.
Should daffodils be planted in sun or shade?
Plant daffodils in a sunny spot, one that gets at least 6 hours of bright sun each day. If planted in partial shade, the plants will still produce green leaves, but they won't bloom. Like most bulbs, daffodils prefer well-drained soil; otherwise they are prone to rotting.
How do you grow Colchicum in Autumnale?
Grow colchicum bulbs purchased from the local garden center in late summer in well-drained soil in full to part sun.

How many daffodil bulbs should I plant together?

Why do my daffodils not multiply?
The second way that daffodils can multiply is through bulb division. This is when new bulbs form from the original bulb, forming a “daughter” bulb underground. Still attached to the same main bulb they came from, these new bulbs will not conventionally spread throughout the garden as other spreading flowers might.
