After a long cold winter, a bright spot of yellow is a welcome sign of Spring! Daffodils are so easy to plant and care for … After digging a hole about 6 inches deep and planting the bulb (pointy side up) in a sunny spot, there is no need to fertilize or prune. They will sprout and bloom in early Spring. Fortunately, daffodils and hyacinth are not appealing to deer, rabbits, and squirrels/voles/moles. Daffodils should be planted in the Fall. They are Spring’s earliest bloomers, and will coax you to come outside for a peak!
For the beginner gardener, daffodils are an excellent start to build a garden. They are easy to plant, grow and maintain.
