The Daffodil 'Minnow' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add early-season charm to compact spaces, containers, or rockeries. Highly valued for its dainty, fragrant blooms and impressive garden reliability, this variety produces multiple flowers per stem; however, growers should note that the bulbs are toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation, requiring careful handling during planting.

A good rule of thumb is to plant them at a depth equal to twice the height of the bulb.

No, Minnow daffodils are hardy and can be left in the ground to naturalize year after year.
Allow the foliage to die back naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for the next growing season.
Ensure the soil has adequate drainage; waterlogged soil during the winter months often causes bulbs to rot.
This often occurs if the foliage was removed too early the previous year, preventing the bulb from recharging its nutrient stores.
For optimal results, plant your bulbs in autumn in well-draining soil. They thrive in both full sun and partial shade positions. When handling the bulbs, it is highly recommended to wear gardening gloves to prevent any irritation from sap or bulb dust. Ensure the bulbs are planted at a depth approximately twice their own height. Once flowering concludes, do not cut the leaves back immediately; allow them to yellow and die back naturally, as this process stores energy in the bulb for next season. Keep the area marked so you do not accidentally dig up the dormant bulbs during summer maintenance.
