Planting Instructions
Planting Season:
Plant daffodil bulbs in the fall before the first frost to ensure they have enough time to establish roots before winter.
Ideal for cooler climates, where they will bloom early in the spring.

Planting Details:

• Bulb Depth: Plant daffodil bulbs 4–6 inches deep.
• Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart for optimal growth and bloom.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Daffodils thrive in soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
• Sunlight: Plant in full to partial sun for the best results.

Care Instructions
Watering:
Daffodils require moderate watering. Ensure the soil is moist but not soggy, particularly during their growing season in spring. After blooming, water less frequently.

Fertilization:
Fertilize daffodils in the early spring with a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Mulching:
Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds. Mulching can also help protect the bulbs from extreme temperatures in colder climates.

Pest and Disease Control:
Daffodils are generally pest-resistant but can occasionally suffer from fungal diseases, such as gray mold. Ensure good air circulation around the plants and remove any infected foliage promptly.
Keep an eye out for aphids, which may occasionally infest daffodil plants.

Harvesting:
Daffodils are best enjoyed in their natural setting, but you can cut flowers for indoor arrangements. Harvest the flowers once they are fully open, taking care not to disturb the surrounding foliage.

Storage:
After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally. Once the leaves have wilted, you can remove them and store bulbs for next season in a cool, dry place. Daffodils can be left in the ground and will come back year after year.

Culinary Uses:
Though daffodils are primarily ornamental, some gardeners use their petals in floral arrangements or for adding color to spring-themed events. Please note that daffodils are toxic if consumed.
