How to Plant & Grow Daffodils (Narcissus)

Quick Planting Guide (for product card / at a glance)

Planting time: Fall, before the ground freezes
Soil: Fertile, well-draining, moderately moist in spring
Depth & spacing: 6" deep, 4–6" apart
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Bloom: Early–late spring, depending on variety

Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

1. Prepare the bulbs
Daffodil bulbs are plump and papery-skinned, with a pointed top.
Plant as soon as possible in fall for best results.

2. Choose the planting site
Select a spot with well-drained soil — daffodils dislike waterlogged ground.
They grow well in borders, under deciduous trees, or naturalized in lawns and meadows.
Improve heavy soil with compost and grit for drainage.

3. Plant the bulbs
Plant bulbs 6" deep and 4–6" apart, in clusters or drifts for a natural effect.
Pointed end faces upward.
Water well after planting.

4. Growing on & care

• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist during active growth in spring. Reduce watering once foliage begins to yellow.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced bulb fertilizer or sprinkle compost in early spring as shoots emerge.

• Mulching: A thin layer of compost or leaf mold helps maintain soil fertility and moisture.

5. Bloom time
Depending on the cultivar, daffodils bloom from early March through late April/May.
They bring cheerful trumpets of yellow, white, cream, or orange, often fragrant.

6. After flowering
Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation, but leave foliage intact until it yellows — this feeds the bulb for next year.
Bulbs can be left in place to naturalize and multiply over time.
If clumps become overcrowded, lift and divide bulbs in summer after foliage dies back.

Tips for Success

• Plant in groups of 10+ for the best display.

• Mix early, mid, and late-season varieties for a long succession of blooms.

• Daffodils are deer- and rodent-resistant, making them reliable for naturalizing.
