Daffodil Basics 101A daffodil field can bloom for up to 30 to 50 years! Choose an area with good drainage and sunlight. An area where grass can be left unmown until the foliage has matured is ideal.
Many gardeners take handfuls of bulbs and throw them about for a natural-feeling distribution - just dig where the bulbs land!
~ Give each bulb a small custom-cultivated hole
~ Lift the soil out with a spade.
~ Work up the soil from the hole with some peat moss, sand and about a tablespoon of nitrogen fertilizer.
~ Refill the hole to just below the planting depth with this mixture.
~ Add one handful of sand and then the bulb ( do not let the bulb come in direct contact with the fertilizer ).
~ Finish filling the hole with sand and replace some sod.
With a sub-layer of rich fertilized soil to send roots into, your daffodils will grow even stronger and bloom for years!
