Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your daffodils thrive, follow these planting guidelines:
- Timing: Plant your bulbs in the autumn while the soil is still workable.
- Depth: Bury each bulb at a depth of 10cm.
- Spacing: Place bulbs 10cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
- Soil: Choose a spot with moist, well-drained soil; avoid heavy clay that remains waterlogged.
- Sunlight: These bulbs perform best in full sun or semi-shade.
- Post-bloom Care: After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this ensures the bulb stores energy for the following season's growth.
