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

How deep do you plant your bulbs?

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.


Why would daffodils not flower?

There are a few reasons a daffodil might not bloom.The clump has not been divided in a while, and there is not enough space/nutrients for a full bloom.The clump was divided when the flowers were blooming, so that the bulbs did not store enough energy for the next year's blooms.These plants grew from seed and are not yet old enough to bloom (it takes 5-7 years for a daffodil grown from seed to produce a flower).The plant is too shaded. To bloom the plant needs to be in full sun or partial shade.

Is June too late to plant canna bulb?

June may be a bit late to plant canna bulbs, as they typically prefer to be planted in the spring after the last frost. However, you can still try planting them as long as you provide them with adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients to help them establish before the growing season ends. Keep in mind that they may bloom later than usual if planted in June.
