Daffodils :: Plant Profile and Growing Hints

Daffodils are native to Europe, North Africa and Asia, origianly a woodland plant, Daffodils will grow well in shade to full sun. A soil rich in humus is best, so dig in well rotted manure. Daffodils make excellent cut flowers. After flowering in the spring, allow Daffodils to grow until the foliage dies back. This allows them to store energy for the following year. Plant in clumps for best effect.

Daffodil Bulbs.
When purchasing daffodil bulbs ensure that they are firm and dry and with no sign of disease or mould.
Daffodil Care.
In many cases it is nit neccessary to lift daffidil bulbs every year. Remember to leave the foliage on daffodils until it dies back. The foliage is where the daffodil bulbs draw energy from. A complete fertilizer will help produce strong blooms, and a little mulch will help keep the bulbs from drying.
Planting Daffodils and Dividing Daffodils
Daffodils are best planted in a humus rich well drained position where they recieve plenty of sun. Plant bulbs in clumps or groups about 12 cm apart. Daffodils need to be planted about 10 - 14 cm deep. Dig the soil well and dig in some organic matter, plant the bilbs and water in well. Daffodils should be planted in autumn, if you intend to divide them lift them in late summer and store until late autumn in a cool dry well aired position.
