LIGHT
Miniature daffodil flowers prefer an area that has full sun to light shade.Â
SOIL
Miniature 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
Miniature daffodil bulbs like to be fertilized right after being planted. Usually put fertilizer 2″ below the bulb in order to promote rooting.Â
We suggest Espoma Organic Bulb-tone
BLOOM TIME
Miniature daffodil flowers will generally bloom in April depending on weather and planting depth. The snow rarely affects them if we get late snow. Â
PLANTING DEPTH
Depending on the size of the bulb plant miniature daffodil bulbs about 3 – 4 inches in the soil.Â
PLANT SPACING
Miniature daffodil bulbs need to be spaced out about 4 – 6 inches a part.Â
Our Advice
- Miniature Daffodil flowers perform best when planted in full sun to some shade.
- Plant miniature daffodils when temperature is consistently in the low 60’s or lower.Â
- Miniature 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 miniature daffodil bulbs 3 – 4 inches deep with the pointed side up.Â
- Water the planted area immediately after planting but no additional watering in fall or spring is necessary.Â
- Apply a 2 – 3 inch layer of mulch to the planing area in mid to late fall.Â
