Daffodils (botanically called Narcissus) are long term perennials and make for great companions to not only other bulbs, but also annuals, perennials, and all sorts of shrubs. They soften hard landscapes, accent most any garden, and are an inexpensive solution to adding color on nearly any budget. They are relatively pest free and deer will not eat them. They do well throughout most of the U. S. as long as there is a discernible winter. Ideal for large plantings and naturalizing, making them an exceptional value item and providing years of carefree color. After awhile, one daffodil bulb becomes two, then suddenly it has multiplied until there are now ten bulbs. Naturalizing daffodils are best planted where the foliage can ripen before the trees' foliage matures and where the grass can be left unmowed. Hillsides or wood edges making for excellent planting areas. They are best planted in large drifts. When planting bulbs in a natural area to be left undisturbed for years, plant deeply for your type of soil, at least 8 inches deep. They will thrive with little care. In fall, plant the bulbs pointy end up, in deep, fertile, well draining soil in full sun to light shade. Bulbs do not like wet feet. Water during their growth period. Fertilization helps growth and increases naturally by offsets. Daffodils can be left undisturbed to naturalize for years. If you cannot plant them immediately, store in a cool, airy place.
