Plant the daffodil bulbs about 3-6” deep and 4-5” apart, placing them in the ground with their pointy ends up. Water well once and wait for spring. After the daffodils have bloomed don't cut off the foliage. Leave it until it's completely withered and yellow, then remove.

What is the best month to plant daffodil bulbs?
The best time to plant daffodil bulbs is in the fall (exact timing can range anywhere from September to late November, depending on where you live). The soil needs to have cooled off, but the ground still needs to be workable when you plant.
How do you plant daffodil bulbs?
Plant them anywhere in the garden in a free draining situation, avoiding total shade and close proximity to south facing walls where the soil temperature is likely to become uncomfortably hot for the bulbs. Plant at twice the depth of the bulb (i.e. 4-6" below the surface of the soil), 4-8 ins apart.
Can you plant daffodils that have already bloomed?
After daffodils bloom in the spring, allow the plants to grow until they die off. Do NOT cut down earlier. They need time after blooming to store energy in the bulbs for next year's bloom.
How many daffodil bulbs should I plant together?
When growing daffodils, you should plant them in groups of ten or more. All you do is make a loose circle with about seven bulbs and put three in the middle. For aesthetic reasons, you don't want to mix different cultivars within each planting group.
Should I soak daffodil bulbs before planting?
The following tips will help you grow healthy, beautiful flowers. Soak fall-planted bulbs for 12 hours in warm water before planting. ... Soaking allows suitable bulbs to absorb enough water to begin growth immediately, saving two or three weeks of time.
How many years do daffodil bulbs last?
Most bulbs, if stored correctly, can be kept for about 12 months before needing to be planted.
Do daffodils multiply?
Daffodils multiply in two ways: asexual cloning (bulb division) where exact copies of the flower will result, and sexually (from seed) where new, different flowers will result. ... Each of these will produce an entirely new plant – but the wait for a bloom for a plant grown from seed is about 5 years!
Do Daffodils come back every year?
Daffodils, also known by their botanical name narcissus, are easy and reliable spring-flowering bulbs. They multiply quickly and return to bloom again each spring, year after year. They are not fussy about soil, will grow in sun or part shade and are not bothered by deer, rabbits and other pesky critters.
Can daffodils grow in shade?
Daffodils need to be planted in the sun. They can take some partial shade but like full sun. If you plant them in the shade they probably will not come back next year. ... At the beginning of the daffodil season, when they start to bloom, take some granular fertilizer and sprinkle it around the plants.
What can I plant over daffodils?
Other later season blooming companion plants for daffodils include:
- Roses.
- Peonies.
- Amsonia.
- Blue-eyed grass.
- Goat's beard.
- Astilbe.
- Hosta.
- Coral bells.
Why are my daffodils not flowering?
Answer: If the daffodils aren't blooming, the plants weren't able to store enough food in their bulbs in the previous year. Daffodil foliage typically persists for 4 to 6 weeks after blooming. During this 4 to 6 week period, the daffodil foliage is manufacturing food.
Should I dead head daffodils?
While tulips should be deadheaded immediately after flowering, it is not necessary to deadhead daffodils. ... However, seed pod formation on daffodils has little impact on plant vigor. Some gardeners do deadhead daffodils for aesthetic reasons as the spent flowers/seed pods are not attractive.
