Daffodils

When I moved into my current house in the Fall, I had no idea there were even daffodil bulbs in the garden so it was a pleasant surprise when spring arrived. Daffodils are typically one of the first flowers to arrive in early spring (April) and will return year after year. Plus, they don't require much maintenance. (right) My daffodils in April 2008.


Growing Tips: Daffodils prefer full to partial sun and will grow in practically any type of soil. Plant bulbs 6" - 8" underground in October. They will bloom in late March or early April, no watering required (in the NW).


Perennial Tips: After blooming finishes and plants start to die, when leaves turn yellow, deadhead the plants (cut off to the ground) for new blooms to return the following year.
