Daffodil

Light

Full sun to part shade; under deciduous trees works.

Water

Water at planting. Spring rain usually covers the rest.

Planting and soil

Plant in fall, 5–6 in. deep, pointed end up, in well-drained soil.

Feeding

A bulb fertilizer in fall and as shoots appear.

Pruning

Deadhead after bloom. Leave foliage for six weeks or until it yellows.

Through the year

Shoots in early spring. Blooms in April. Foliage fades by June.

If something's off

Few flowers after a few years means clumps need dividing in early summer. Deer, rabbits and squirrels leave it alone. Toxic to pets.

Why we stock it: Plant once, and it comes back every spring for decades.
