Daffodil Bulbs

Daffodils: Cheerful Spring Bloomers for Every Garden

Daffodils, also known as Narcissus or Jonquils, are among the first and most beloved signs that spring has truly sprung. With their trumpet-shaped blooms and bright colors, these classic bulbs add bold charm to borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and naturalized spaces. From pure whites to vibrant yellows, coral, and peach tones, Daffodils light up the landscape and return year after year with minimal care.

Hardy and deer-resistant, Daffodils are perfect for mass plantings or for mixing different varieties to create an exotic show of springtime color. Their reliability and ease of growth make them a timeless favorite for beginner and seasoned gardeners alike.

How to Plant & Care for Daffodil Bulbs

Planting Daffodils is simple; just follow these steps for a stunning spring display:

• Plant in fall, before the ground freezes
• Choose well-drained soil and a site with full to partial sun
• Plant bulbs 6–8 inches deep in cold climates for added protection
• Space bulbs at least 3 inches apart to allow for growth
• Place the pointy end facing up in each hole
• Add bulb fertilizer at planting time and again after flowering
• Water well and add a layer of arborist mulch or compost over the soil surface to retain moisture and insulate the bulbs

After blooming, let the foliage die back naturally to feed the bulbs for next year. Use the Finger Test to keep soil moisture just right during early root development.

Daffodil Garden Ideas

Daffodils are incredibly versatile and pair beautifully with other spring bulbs and early perennials. Try these ideas:

• Line pathways or border beds with bright clusters
• Create drifts of color in rock gardens or slopes
• Mix with Tulips, Crocus, and Hyacinths for layered spring displays
• Plant among perennials to hide fading foliage later in spring
• Tuck into containers or around trees for added spring cheer

For a striking display, plant large masses of mixed varieties for an eye-catching blend of colors and forms.
