ft.), and the miniatures 3–4″ apart (5 bulbs per sq ft). Plant larger or bedding-size bulbs 5–6″ apart (4–5 bulbs per sq ft), smaller or landscape-size bulbs 3–4″ apart (5 bulbs per sq. If your soil is heavy, try planting less deeply than we recommend, making up the difference with a layer of mulch on top. Daffodil bulbs appreciate deep planting in light soil. Plant each bulb at a depth 3 times the height of the bulb. Avoid low-lying areas where water gathers or where the snow is late to melt in spring. Try not to water excessively in the summer months when bulbs are dormant.įertilizer/Soil and pH: Daffodil bulbs will not survive in soils that are wet, especially during the winter. Watering during the fall is essential for good root growth before the ground freezes in cold regions. Those cultivars with orange, red, or pink cups generally retain deeper color when planted in a location that receives protection from the hot afternoon sun.
Light/Watering: While Daffodils prefer full sun they will usually tolerate half-day shade, especially Cyclamineus hybrids such as 'Jack Snipe' and the Poeticus variety 'Actaea'. Many Daffodils can be grown throughout the South, except in regions that are frost-free, since cold temperatures are necessary for the formation of the flower buds.Ĭolor: Narcissus color can vary based on the age of the flowers as well as environmental conditions, such as temperature and light intensity. Many of the hardy varieties can also be successfully forced indoors. Paperwhite Narcissus are hardy only to Zone 8, but are forced indoors in pots in cold climates during the winter months for their fragrant blooms. Easily grown, the majority of these bulbs are very tolerant of cold winters. Glorious gold, lemon-yellow, and snowy white blooms are often accented with contrasting trumpets or centers and vary in height from two inches to two feet with flowers in elegant proportion. Harbingers of a new season, these spring-flowering bulbs light up the landscape.

The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience.

For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting.
