Planting Instructions

Planting Season
Plant daffodil bulbs in the fall, about 6–8 weeks before the first frost, to allow them time to establish roots before winter. They will bloom the following spring.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant bulbs about 4–6 inches deep.
• Spacing: Space bulbs 4–6 inches apart for optimal growth.
• Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0).
• Sunlight: Daffodils thrive in full sun to partial shade, though full sun ensures the best blooms.

Care Instructions

Watering
Water well after planting to help establish roots. Once established, daffodils are fairly drought-tolerant but should be watered during dry spells to ensure healthy growth. Aim for about 1 inch of water per week during the growing season.

Fertilization
Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) in early spring, just as the shoots begin to emerge, to encourage strong growth and vibrant blooms.

Weeding and Mulching
Keep the planting area free of weeds, which can compete for nutrients. Mulching with organic matter will help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect bulbs over the winter.

Deadheading
After blooming, remove spent flowers to prevent seed formation. Allow the leaves to die back naturally, as they are essential for feeding the bulb for next season's growth.

Pest and Disease Control
Daffodils are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but be on the lookout for aphids or slugs. Use organic pest control methods if needed.

Harvesting

Daffodils are typically grown for ornamental purposes, and their cut flowers can last up to a week in a vase. Harvest flowers early in the morning when they are fully open, cutting them with a sharp knife.

Storage

Daffodil bulbs can be stored in a cool, dry place until it’s time to plant them in the fall. Keep them in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold or rot.

Culinary Uses

While daffodils are primarily ornamental, they can also be used in traditional floral arrangements or as a fragrant addition to spring décor.
