FAQ about Daffodil – Red

What kind of soil suits daffodils best?
Daffodils thrive in well-drained, humus-rich soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Avoid heavy clay and spots where water collects, as this causes bulb rot. A sandy or loamy soil with good drainage is ideal.
How often should daffodils be watered?
While they are growing in spring they need moderate watering, especially in dry spells. Water deeply and occasionally rather than little and often. After flowering, cut back on watering gradually and let the soil dry out once the leaves start to yellow.
Should daffodils be cut back after flowering?
Deadhead straight after flowering to stop seed forming, but leave the leaves until they yellow naturally, usually six to eight weeks later. The foliage needs this time to store food in the bulb for next year's flowers.
Which pests and diseases can affect daffodils?
Daffodils are fairly trouble-free, but bulb rot can occur in wet soil. The narcissus bulb fly can lay its eggs in the bulbs, and slugs and snails may eat the young shoots in spring. Good drainage and firm, healthy bulbs prevent most problems.
Do daffodils survive the winter outdoors?
Yes, daffodils are very hardy and come through frost without any protection. The bulbs rest underground over winter and need the cold to flower well. In cold, exposed gardens a thin layer of leaves or bark over the bed gives extra protection, but it is rarely needed.
