As autumn cools and flowers fade, it's the perfect time to plant daffodil bulbs for a spectacular March–April display. A little effort now rewards you with bright yellow blooms after winter.
Daffodils need a well-drained, sunny spot (≥5 hours sun daily).
Shrub borders, perennial gardens, or groundcover beds. Plant in groups of 3–12 bulbs of one variety for natural effect.
Bulbs need root development before winter. University of Missouri Extension recommends mid-October cutoff; warmer areas may extend a month.
Dig holes for bulbs to rest 6 inches deep. Space 6–12 inches apart (variety-dependent). Mix complete fertilizer into soil if desired—daffodils need little feeding.
Moisture is critical for root establishment. Water through fall if rainfall is inadequate.
If too late for outdoor planting, pot bulbs for indoor winter bloom. See resources for "Indoor Daffodils."
