Best Answer

When planting a daffodil bulb, you have to find a site with full sun or part shade with somewhat fertile and well-drained soil. Plant the bulbs in the fall about 3-6 inches apart. Bear in mind that they will soon be crowding each other. Generally planting is done in the fall, but late winter is OK, too, as long as the ground is not frozen.

The bulbs need to be 2 times as deep as the bulb is high. A 2-inch long bulb should be planted 4-inches deep. If the winters are severe, 3-inches of soil above the bulb tip is recommended. In clay soils, don't plant as deeply as in sandy soil. If planted too deeply, the bulb will produce long stems and few flowers.

i do not have bulbs because they are just not my favorite but i would probably at-least plant them as far as you would plant a normal plant.

Bulbs should be planted 2-3 times as deep as the size of the bulb.

Plant daffodils from 6-9 inches deep depending on their size. Daffodills should be planted twice the depth of the bulb in light soil and half that depth in heavy wet soil.
