Plant Care & Growing Tips

Ensuring the success of your daffodil bulbs for planting is straightforward with a few key care practices. For optimal growth, plant these bulbs in an area that receives full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While daffodils are adaptable, they perform best with consistent light exposure. The ideal planting period is in the fall, allowing the bulbs to establish roots before the winter chill and ensuring a spectacular spring bloom. Dig a hole that is approximately 6-8 inches deep, or about three times the height of the bulb, and place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards.

Daffodils thrive in well-draining loam soil. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much water, as this can lead to bulb rot. If your soil is heavy, amend it with organic matter like compost or sand to improve drainage. These bulbs require moderate watering, especially during dry periods in spring when they are actively growing and flowering. Once the foliage begins to yellow and die back after blooming, reduce watering as the bulbs enter dormancy. Fertilization is generally not required at planting time if the soil is rich, but a balanced slow-release fertilizer can be applied in early spring as new growth emerges. Watch out for common issues like bulb rot in overly wet conditions or slug/snail damage to emerging foliage; good drainage and occasional pest monitoring will keep your fragrant daffodil flowers healthy.
