DAFFODIL BULBS

Daffodils are best known for their bright yellow blooms that are a wonderful sign that spring is finally here. They are a hardy perennial that is easy to grow in most areas of North America. Perfect for planting between shrubs or on a borders these flowers look amazing where ever they grow. Stop in after Labor Day every year to check out the selection of daffodil bulbs we have in stock here at City Floral Garden Center. 

LIGHT

Daffodil flowers prefer an area that has full sun to light shade. 

SOIL

Daffodil flowers grow best in a well-draining soil. Spread 2″ of peat moss and blend with existing soil to help with drainage. Add kelp meal to your soil to help bulbs establish strong roots.

FERTILIZER

Daffodil bulbs like to be fertilized right after being planted. Usually put fertilizer 2″ below the bulb in order to promote rooting. 
We suggest Espoma Organic Bulb-tone

BLOOM TIME

Daffodil flowers will generally bloom in April depending on weather and planting depth. The snow rarely affects them if we get late snow.   

PLANTING DEPTH

Depending on the size of the bulb plant daffodil bulbs about 6 – 8 inches in the soil. 

PLANT SPACING

Daffodil bulbs need to be spaced out about 4 – 6 inches a part. 

PLANTING ADVICE FOR DAFFODIL BULBS

  • Daffodil flowers perform best when planted in full sun to some shade.
  • Plant daffodils when temperature is consistently in the low 60’s or lower. 
  • Daffodil bulbs and flowers enjoy having soil that is well-draining and has organic matter. Amend the soil with top soil and organic material such as compost, manure or we suggest peat moss. Add kelp meal to establish strong roots.
  • Plant daffodil bulbs 6 – 8 inches deep with the pointed side up. 
  • Water the planted area immediately after planting but no additional watering in fall or spring is necessary. 
  • Apply a 2 – 3 inch layer of  mulch to the planing area in mid to late fall.
