Can daffodils survive a frost

Answer 1

One thing about daffodils is that if you get a late frost, the plant and buds will come through it without worry. No need to cover the plants or concern yourself even if you have a foot of snow. You will see the plants once the snow melts.

If the flowers are in full bloom, and you have continual nightly frost, well. . . then you will see damage to the blooms alone. That's when you need to cover with a sheet that is kept off the flowers by stakes, if you need those blooms to be perfect. An alternative is to spray the flowers with water late in the evening, and the ice coating will protect them from damage (it's true!).

This is what makes daffodils the herald of spring. Spring may not have fully arrived, but the daffodil always promises that it's just around the corner. It will take what the weather throws at it until then.
