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 landscapes, 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. hey are fragrant and will provide a long season of bloom, beginning with the early blooming Little Gem and ending with the late blooming Sun Disc, along with the others blooming in between mid-season: Minnow, Kokopelli, Segovia, and Jet Fire. Nine bulbs cover about a square foot. Deer resistant and very easy to grow by anyone and anywhere. Best of all, if USDA zone appropriate, they will return for years to come with no effort. 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 increases naturally 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, and removing the flowers as soon as they go but allowing the leaves to brown before removing, they will return for years to come with little other effort.
