Planting Instructions

Plant daffodil bulbs in the fall, before the first frost, for a spring bloom.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant bulbs 4–6 inches deep in the soil.
• Spacing: Space bulbs about 4–6 inches apart.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile, loamy soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–7.0).
• Sunlight: Daffodils thrive in full sun to partial shade, with at least 4–6 hours of sunlight per day.

Care Instructions

Watering
Water the bulbs well after planting, but avoid overwatering. Once established, daffodils are drought-tolerant, but regular watering will promote better blooms.

Fertilization
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as the shoots emerge. Avoid fertilizing after blooming to allow the plant to naturally store energy for next season.

Weeding and Mulching
Weed around the bulbs carefully to avoid damaging them. Mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the bulbs during the winter months.

Pest and Disease Control
Daffodils are generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for aphids or fungal issues. Apply an organic pesticide if needed and practice good garden hygiene to reduce disease risk.

Harvesting and Storage

Maturity
Daffodils bloom in early spring, typically around March or April, depending on your climate.

Cutting Flowers
Cut flowers once they are fully open, but leave the foliage to die back naturally after blooming to allow the bulb to store energy for the next year.

Storage
Daffodil bulbs should be left in the ground after blooming, where they will continue to grow and multiply year after year. If digging up bulbs for replanting, store them in a cool, dry place.

Culinary Uses

While not edible, daffodils make excellent cut flowers, providing long-lasting color for indoor arrangements and outdoor gardens.
