Can you plant daffodils in a pot?

Answer 1

Yes, you can plant them, but it depends if they received adequate nutrition after they flowered last season whether they will flower well again. This is particularly so for the fancy varieties, which tend to deteriorate over time.

Answer 2

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 3

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 4

Yes you can plant daffodils in a pot. You can even grow them inside in a pot.

Answer 5

You need either gravel or a good draining soil to plant daffodils in a pot.
