Growing guide for Daffodil Queen's Day Bulbs
Planting instructions
When planting in the ground, dig a hole about 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards and cover it with soil. If planting in pots or containers, use a pot that's at least 6 inches (15 cm) deep. Plant the bulbs at the same depth as in the ground.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Watch out for slugs and snails. You can use organic slug control methods or traps to keep them away. Daffodils are generally hardy, but they can be susceptible to bulb rot if the soil is too wet. Ensure good drainage to prevent this.
soil
Well-draining soil is essential. Mix in some compost to improve soil quality and ensure good drainage. Daffodils can tolerate a range of soil types, but they prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
spot
Choose a sunny to partially shaded location for your Daffodils. They need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Avoid areas with strong winds, as this can damage the delicate stems.
temperature
Plant Daffodil bulbs in the fall, about 2-4 weeks before the first frost. They thrive in cool weather. They can tolerate light frosts, but avoid planting them in extremely cold conditions.
watering
Water the daffodil bulbs after planting to settle the soil. During the growing season, water when the soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Once the daffodils bloom, reduce watering to allow the bulbs to dry out naturally.
how to harvest
Wait until the flowers have fully opened before cutting them for bouquets. Use sharp, clean scissors or garden shears to cut the stems. Cut just above the leaves. Place cut stems in a vase with fresh water and change the water every few days to prolong the blooms.
