Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your white daffodil bulbs is straightforward, ensuring a dazzling display each spring. Daffodils thrive in full sun to partial shade, ideally receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While they can tolerate some shade, too much will reduce flowering. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil; daffodils are susceptible to rot in waterlogged conditions. A good sandy loam with a neutral pH is ideal. If your soil is heavy clay, amend it with organic matter like compost or peat moss to improve drainage. Plant the bulbs in the fall, typically 6-8 weeks before the first hard frost, allowing them to establish roots before winter.

When planting, dig a hole that is about two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. For these large narcissus twin sister bulbs, this usually means 6-8 inches deep. Place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards, then cover with soil and water thoroughly. Space bulbs about 4-6 inches apart for a naturalized look. While generally drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture during their active growing period in spring is beneficial. Reduce watering once the foliage begins to yellow and die back, as the bulbs enter dormancy. Fertilize in early spring when sprouts first appear with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can promote foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation, which diverts energy from the bulb, but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally for 6-8 weeks before removing it. This process allows the bulb to store energy for the next season’s blooms, making them truly easy to grow bulbs.
