Spring is in the Air. Daffodils


Spring is in the Air.

The Daffodils I forgot I planted in March have suddenly started popping around the Garden. Its one of my favorite flowers simply because its so Simple.  Plating in March will give you a later bloom, which is nice because all the other Daffodils will have gone and these late bloomers are sure to surprise.

Tips for Planting Daffodils:

  • The Bigger the Bulb the better the Bloom.
  • Plant bigger Bulbs deep to protect from the cold.
  • Plant smaller Bulbs not as deep as bigger bulbs so their energy goes to the bloom not breaking ground.
  • Plant in Clusters for best effects.
  • Under trees is not just a pretty place to plant but gives protection from the wind also.
  • Plant later (around late march) to give a fresh bloom when all the others have died off.
  • Mix the variety so you get constant surprises as the start to flower.
