PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
PLANTING TIME: Plant daffodils in fall, for spring blooms. In Northeast Texas, plant in between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
PLANTING: In the garden, daffodils look best and make the most impact when planted en masse. We recommend planting in clumps of 10-20 bulbs – digging out a circle of soil 6-8 inches deep. We suggest mixing in a little organic compost and a bulb fertilizer, then planting your bulbs about 4-5 inches apart.
Once your bulbs are planted, cover with soil and water them in deeply.
HARVEST: In the spring, harvest blooms that haven’t fully opened for maximum vase life. If picked when the buds are fully colored, but still slightly nodding (also known as the “goose neck” stage) a solid week of vase life can be expected. Wear gloves when harvesting narcissus as they ooze a slimy sap that can irritate your skin.
NOTES: This slimy sap produced by daffodils is also toxic to other flowers and will shorten their vase life significantly – it is best to avoid mixing them with other flowers in the vase to avoid this.
You can create an arrangement solely of daffodils because they are quite beautiful on their own, either just one variety or several, and the sap won’t be an issue.
All parts of the daffodil are poisonous to humans and animals when ingested, especially the bulb. Because of this, critters such as deer, gophers, armadillos and others leave them alone.
