Daffodils are monocots and pair nicely with most garden plants that are often dicots. It sounds simple, or almost silly, but monocots with their grass like foliage and parallel veins in their leaves are a pleasing juxtaposition against the branched, multi leafed companions they are planted with. To help illustrate the difference between dicots and monocots, try to recall our child biology lessons when we planted a bean (dicot) and corn (a monocot). The bean came up with two leaves and spread out more horizontally. The corn came up with one singular bold leaf, almost like a blade of grass and definitely vertical. Both were plants but both grew and had a form distinctly different but complimenting each other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eApply the stark contrast between monocot and dicot plants of beans and corn to something more subtle, like mixing the monocot daffodils with a low lying ground cover such as verbena or with other flowers like pansies or snapdragons.

By ordering from September through November, you generally have the largest selection of varieties and the freshest bulbs. Dry bulbs are generally still healthy and ok for planting in December in warmer climates of the United States, but by the time January comes dry bulbs are getting too dried out and really need to be planted quickly. About this time, you can start to think of local sources for daffodils for pass-a-long heirlooms, buying bulbs in the green, or buying bulbs growing in pots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eYou should also buy some daffodils when they are available from reputable sources.

To achieve this, simply dig a hole with a shovel, use the shovel to cave in the sides of your hole and flatten the bottom out some, and throw in the bulbs. While the hole is open, I often add some fertilizer or potting soil so that their roots will have the nutrient rich additives close to their growing region where they can readily absorb it. I cover the hole back up and try to keep the squirrels away from digging up my freshly planted bulbs!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBold, Colorful, and Highly Visible Daffodil Plantings\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAnother technique I use to plant daffodils in a home garden, is designate a certain area as an “all bulb area” that I change out seasonally and plant with companion annuals. I reserve this more intensive method for smaller areas that have high visibility, like by the entrance to our front door, a patio location in our backyard, or by the mailbox by the road. With this method of planting daffodil bulbs, I remove all of the soil in the area to a depth of about 5-6 inches and put that soil on a nearby tarp or in a wheelbarrow. I put a fresh layer of nutrient rich potting soil into my excavated area. Then I space all the daffodils out on top of this newly laid soil. I space the daffodils a couple of inches apart – this is almost like square foot gardening with flower bulbs, and I place about 5 daffodils per square foot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOnce I have the daffodil bulbs laid out in a pattern and proximity that I like, I use the excavated soil and start covering the daffodils. Before I have all of the bulbs fully covered, I use colorful annuals in 4 inch pots to fill in the spaces between the daffodils. This means the bulbs are a little deeper than the annuals, but I still have the daffodil tops exposed so I can see to not plant the annuals right on top of the bulbs. The remaining soil is used to cover the bulbs and fill in the gaps around the annuals. I keep extra potting soil on hand to fill in any gaps. This planting will generally look good from the time of the planting through the next 3 to 4 months as the spot grows into a masterpiece. The climax is the bloom of the bulbs, and generally we have cars stopping to take pictures, even though this was just a small spot. I plan to pull all of the annuals and bulbs up once the garden area peaks and then repeat the above process for the next flower bulb. In this case, after the daffodil or tulip blooms are finished, I’ll prepare a summer bed with caladiums. I repeat this process about 3 times a year: paperwhites for the fall\/holiday season, tulips or daffodils for late winter\/spring, and caladiums for the summer. Yes, daffodils are perennials. I could leave them in the ground and not need to replant them each year, but I also enjoy using daffodils in seasonal displays in certain areas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNaturalized and Woodland Plantings of Daffodils\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIn deciduous forest or woodland settings, there is a fun daffodil bulb planting method for areas where I want to plant hundreds of daffodils for a natural look. Grab a bag and fill it with daffodil bulbs. Make sure the bag is not too heavy and that you can comfortably reach into the bag and grab handfuls of daffodil bulbs. Reach into the bag, grab some flower bulbs, and scatter the daffodil bulbs like you are spreading seed. Do this in the fall once temperatures have started to cool some but before the leaves fall off of the deciduous trees. This should ensure the bulbs aren’t exposed to brutal summer sun and heat, and the soon to fall leaves will act as a natural mulch. Remember, our farm is in a zone 8 climate, so even though we do get freezes, they are rarely hard freezes like a zone 6 or colder, so the leaves provide plenty of cover for these shallowly planted daffodil bulbs. Over time, the years of falling leaves and the natural growth of the daffodils allow the daffodil bulbs to bloom reliably each year. This method is best used with heirloom flower bulbs that often adorn hay meadows where old house gardens remain, but the house itself has long been torn down and removed. These heirloom daffodils and heirloom narcissus have proven themselves to bloom for well over 100 years, while modern, larger trumpet daffodils have a tendency to grow only foliage with very little bloom after about 5 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eArboretum Daffodil Plantings\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIn an arboretum or formal garden, daffodil bulbs are sometimes lined out and planted in more linear patterns.

Think back to our monocot and dicot example of corn and a bean – flower bulbs are monocots like grass, and if they receive a heavy Nitrogen fertilizer intended for grass, they will grow foliage like grass does. Fertilizers for daffodils should focus more heavily on bulb growth that leads to more and healthier flowers, and that can be achieved by supplying more Phosphorous and Potassium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWhen looking at fertilizer selections, remember that most of them display an N-P-K ratio, which is a ratio of Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potassium.

Daffodils in the United States came with settlers from the 16\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century and forward. Daffodils are grown primarily in The Netherlands and imported into the United States; however, many daffodils are grown commercially in other places around the world, including New Zealand, Ireland, the United States, and elsewhere.

I purchased a tulip and planted it that day. It bloomed in the spring, but the flower did not come back any year after that.

Chris chose to write a business plan for a flower bulb company that focused on flower bulbs that would return every year for warm climate gardeners which were primarily located in the Southeastern United States (i.e. the “South”). Chris Wiesinger was a horticulture major at Texas A\u0026amp;M University and had gardened with flower bulbs as a child, spending many weekends with his family either mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, or going to the garden center to buy flowers. One fall, one of the garden centers had new colorful displays filled with boxes of flower bulbs. He planted a red tulip that fall that bloomed the next spring. The tulip was beautiful, and he fell in love with the impact flower bulbs can have in the garden, but it did not come back ever again. That is because the tulip was an annual, not a perennial. As a graduating senior in the horticulture program at Texas A\u0026amp;M, a land grant school that focuses on agriculture and engineering, he decided to answer this childhood desire for perennial flower bulbs by exploring a company that focused on securing perennial flower bulbs for gardeners, in other words, bulbs that would return every year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOne of his professors and later co-author of a book, Dr. Bill Welch, had explored perennial roses that grew on old house garden sites, and these were often called antique roses. He mentioned that these same old homesites often had heirloom perennial flower bulbs growing on them as well, and that those bulbs needed to be fully explored and focused on in the horticulture trade. Dr. Welch introduced Chris to many members of The Southern Garden History Society who very often owned pastures of old homesites where these flower bulbs had grown for generations. Sure enough, after months of meeting these members, other master gardeners, and driving down countless country roads, it became apparent that lines of daffodils marked old home sites where gardens and homes used to exist. On many of these sites, the homes had long been torn down and many of the trees were gone, but heirloom daffodils and other flower bulbs still marked these former homesites. With permission, Chris began collecting and identifying these bulbs building on the efforts of many great garden historians, authors, and homeowners…all of whom were very generous with their time, bulbs, and storytelling!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWith these treasures of daffodils and other flower bulbs in hand, Chris moved up to northeast Texas to the sandy loam soils that had allowed sweet potato farmers to farm for years. Not knowing anyone in the county, Chris went to the county extension agent and told him of his idea to farm daffodils and flower bulbs in Texas. The agent gave Chris names of farmers in the area, and he began to call them. One offered a piece of land to farm for free until he was on his feet. After sleeping in a rented office in a nearby town and sleeping on sofas of former college friends across the state of Texas, the same farmer offered a little 500 square foot cabin in the woods near the new farm. Thus began the Southern Bulb Company, and rows of rows of heirloom daffodils began to be planted in the sandy loam soils of East Texas! The Southern Bulb Company continues to grow its own daffodils to this day, but it also works with a network of growers and importers from around the world to focus on high quality perennial and annual flower bulbs for customers across the United States.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"Gardening-with-daffodils-an-investment-in-your-garden-and-relationships\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGardening with daffodils: an investment in your garden and relationships\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDaffodils are a perennial investment in your garden, and one planting can lead to a lifetime of blooms for you and your children.

When the customer receives them, the foliage is in the process of drying down naturally. Plant the bulbs, with foliage and all in the ground and let the foliage turn brown and die back naturally.   Another option is to not plant the flower bulbs and store the bulbs with the foliage in a cool, dark, and well ventilated spot, and most importantly let the foliage die down naturally. In other words, DON'T cut the foliage of bulbs when you receive them in the green. The browning and dying back of the foliage is the natural process of the bulb sending food and energy from the leaves down into the bulbs for their summer dormancy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eI thought daffodil bulbs are normally shipped in the fall?

What makes a tazetta bulb different from a non-tazetta bulb? Great question! Tazetta flowers have smaller cups, but a LOT more of them. The outer petals can be white, yellow, or orange and the inner cup can be white, yellow, or orange, and there can be many combinations in between. Tazettas are generally larger and more robust than the smaller species flower bulbs often referred to as narcissus. The \"tazetta\" group is valued because most bulbs in this category are great perennials, and a gardener can choose selections that bloom in December, January, February, and March!\u003cem\u003e  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"narcissus-tazetta-italicus-and-foliage-600-x-900.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/narcissus-tazetta-italicus-and-foliage-600-x-900.jpg\" alt=\"narcissus-tazetta-italicus-and-foliage-600-x-900.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ac-designer-copy\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ac-designer-copy\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ac-designer-copy\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDO I PLANT OR DO I WAIT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWe know that it is hot in the summer!

However, in the spring we ship some flower bulbs with their foliage still on them, having dug them right after their bloom. When the customer receives them, the foliage is in the process of drying down naturally. Plant the bulbs, with foliage and all in the ground and let the foliage turn brown and die back naturally.   Another option is to not plant the flower bulbs and store the bulbs with the foliage in a cool, dark, and well ventilated spot, and most importantly let the foliage die down naturally. In other words, DON'T cut the foliage of bulbs when you receive them in the green. The browning and dying back of the foliage is the natural process of the bulb sending food and energy from the leaves down into the bulbs for their summer dormancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI thought daffodil bulbs are normally shipped in the fall?

We prefer to dig, divide, and transplant these daffodils immediately after they bloom, but we also try to harvest more in summer for dry bulb sales in the fall. It seems that the bulbs of the Narcissus psuedonarcissus are small enough that they tend to dry out when left out all summer long. Our trick is to move them with their foliage on them, plant them, and then let the foliage die down naturally as the nutrients are sent back to the bulb. This means we won’t enjoy a bloom until the next season, but once established, they will be in your garden for a lifetime. They want plenty of winter sun!

The \"tazetta\" group is valued because most bulbs in this category are great perennials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"__mce_add_custom__\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; border: 1px solid black;\" title=\"close-up-of-size-of-bloom.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0337\/1827\/files\/close-up-of-size-of-bloom.jpg\" alt=\"close-up-of-size-of-bloom.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"463\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The Erlicheer daffodil is known for its elegant and attractive appearance.
