• Best planted when the ground is cool but not frozen, typically in September to November.

Planting Details

• Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart for the best display.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
• Sunlight: Daffodils thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.

Care Instructions

Watering

• Water well after planting to help bulbs establish roots.
• Once established, daffodils are drought-tolerant, but regular watering during dry periods will promote healthy growth and blooms.

Fertilization

• Apply a slow-release fertilizer in the spring as the shoots emerge for the best growth and blooming.
• Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) to support overall plant health.

Weeding and Mulching

• Mulch around daffodils to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
• Keep the planting area free from weeds, especially in the early growing season, to avoid competition for nutrients.

Pest and Disease Control

• Daffodils are generally pest-resistant but may occasionally be affected by aphids or snails. Use organic remedies as needed.
• For disease control, ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues.

Harvesting

• Daffodils are typically not harvested for cut flowers until the blooms are fully open, though they can also be enjoyed in the garden.
• Allow the leaves to die back naturally after blooming to provide energy for next season’s flowers.

Storage

• Daffodils are hardy perennials that will return year after year. After the growing season ends, allow the foliage to die back before cutting it.
• If digging up bulbs for replanting or storage, keep them in a cool, dry place until the next planting season.

Culinary Uses

• While daffodils are primarily grown for ornamental purposes, they are not typically used in culinary applications due to toxicity in some parts of the plant.
