Setup, Compatibility & Care
Timing: Plant your bulbs during autumn or early winter before the ground freezes.
Depth: Bury the bulbs approximately 10-15 cm deep with the pointed end facing upward.
Spacing: Space each bulb about 10 cm apart to allow for optimal growth and airflow.
Soil Conditions: Ensure the planting site features well-draining soil. If your garden has heavy clay, add grit or compost to the hole to prevent moisture buildup.
Light Exposure: These daffodils perform best in full sun but are tolerant of partial shade, especially in warmer microclimates.
Care: After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally. This process channels energy back into the bulb for the following season's growth.
