When is it too late to plant daffodil bulbs?

Answer 1

Daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall months before the ground freezes. Why autumn when it's a spring flower?

• The bulb must be exposed to cold temperatures for the formation of the flower bud.
• The bulb roots should be established prior to freezing temperatures.
• To break dormancy & bloom, must spring bulbs need 12-14 weeks of temps below 45F.

However, they can be planted in February for a slightly later bloom than you would normally get from that particular variety.

• Plant time zone 1-4: late August and September
• Plant time zone 4-7: September through December

Answer 2

Daffodils can be dug up in late May, or after the foliage has died back. Wash the bulbs and let them dry. Store in an onion sack in a cool, ventilated place and re- plant in autumn. If you wish to move them in 'green leaf', carefully dig up bulbs taking as much soil as possible (dont clean off the soil) and re-plant straight away at the same depth

Answer 3

As soon as the ground thaws from the winter's cold temperatures, the daffodil bulb awakens to begin the new year. When exactly this is depends on the location and weather for any particular year. The daffodil has long been referred to as the herald of spring, and that it does. When you're sick and tired of winter, and the sun starts to warm the soil, you get those happy, daffy flowers promising a wonderful new year.

Answer 5

Planting daffodils:

• Daffodils must be planted in a locale where it will get a period of cold. Cold is necessary for bud formation.
• The location should be well drained and full sun, though a daffodil can tolerate partial shade.
• It is always preferable to have a highly organic soil, but daffodils will accept almost any soil you give them. Sandy soil makes them grow taller, apparently.
• They don't like standing water or full shade, and do not survive long under evergreen trees and shrubs.
