Transplanting Daffodils: Timing and Soil Preparation for Success

Move daffodils after foliage yellows—this signals the bulb has stored maximum energy. If the new site has poor soil, incorporate 2 cubic feet of soil conditioner per 10 square feet, tilled 10 inches deep. Plant bulbs with bases 4 inches below surface. This timing and preparation ensure strong future blooms.
