Daffodils (botanically called Narcissus) are long term perennials and make for great companions to not only other bulbs, but also annuals, perennials, and all sorts of shrubs. They soften hard hardscapes, accent most any garden, and are an inexpensive solution to adding color on nearly any budget. They are relatively pest free and deer will not eat them. They do well throughout most of the U. S. as long as there is a discernible winter. Ideal for large plantings and naturalizing, making them an exceptional value item and providing years of care. We gather overruns and produce a special all-in-one mixture, from an untold number of varieties - a kind of potluck. Fun and full of surprises. As each mixture is guaranteed to be unique, buy several packs to plant en mass, and create that dramatic, bold, curb appeal. Best Buy daffodil mixture. In fall, plant the bulbs pointy end up, in deep, fertile, well draining soil in full sun to light shade. Bulbs do not like wet feet. Water during their growth period. Fertilization helps growth and natural increase by offsets. Daffodils can be left undisturbed to naturalize for years. If you cannot plant them immediately, store in a cool, airy place. When given ample sun light, water, and proper nutrition, removing the flowers as soon as they go and allowing the leaves to brown before removing, they will return for years to come with little other effort.
