Daffodils are almost fool proof. Plant them once and forget about them for a magnificent display every spring. Choose a well drained site for your bulbs and see BULBS page for planting instructions.

Feeding bulbs is usually unnecessary. Watering well as the first shoots appear and again after flowering - this is when next years flowers are being set - is the best food you can give them, and it's FREE.

Dead headding daffodils is encouraged if you want to promote bulb multiplication. DO NOT tie back daffodil foliage, as this inhibits the flow of nutrients to the bulb. Leave the foliage on for 4-6 weeks, then mow off or cut back as desired.

Daffodils can be grown in pots - for 1 year only. Return bulbs to garden after this. Look for shorter varieties that don't require staking in a pot.

Daffodil juice is toxic. We advise the wearing of gloves if picking quantities. Ensure you wash your hands after picking and avoid contact with face.

Naturalising daffodils is a cheap and effective way to create a spring spectacle. See David Bell Daffodils, New Zealand, for all your daffodil requirements.
