Daffodils are reliable naturalizers with long lasting flowers. Great for cut flowers or for announcing spring to the whole neighborhood. They bloom early and profusely.

These 10 cm round bulbs are large for this variety. These are expected to produce 1-2 flower stems the first year and more ever after.

PLEASE NOTE: Daffodils and other spring blooming bulbs can still be planted in spring, as long as there are several weeks of cool weather left. Plant only 2-3 inches deep because they don’t have as long to reach the surface. They are also easy to force in areas with frozen soil. Just plant them in a pot, keep the pot in a cold but unfrozen room for a few weeks for root growth. Then bring them into a warm sunny window so they can grow and bloom.
