Lay Bulbs On The Frozen Ground.

You may need to plant the bulbs earlier than suggested, such as late september, if you have early, cold winters that freeze the ground. I'd like to give them to her for christmas, and plant over the weekend (weather permitting). Also, spring may be dry and if so, give your daffodils some extra water.

At That Point The Soil Temperature Should Be Just Perfect For Tucking Bulbs In For Their Winter's Rest Underground.

They still grew and flowered, although later than usual. Many people assume this is because it is past the time when to plant spring bulbs. In warmer climates you may need to plant.

Is It Too Late To Plant Bulbs:

I planted them in a trench in the veg patch in late january. With cold weather frequently not arriving in the uk until december, the planting window for tulips is long and holding off should not delay flowering. The best time to plant daffodil bulbs is in the fall (exact timing can range anywhere from september to late november, depending on where you live).

As A Rule Of Thumb, The Planting Hole Should Be Twice As Deep As The Height Of The Daffodil Bulb.

This will allow them to establish deep root systems, which help them take up water in spring to fuel up next year's bulbs. Stick them in the ground as soon as you are able. Plant bulbs on top of the frozen soil.

Plant Them Outdoors In The Spring When All Danger Of Frost Has Passed.

According to alan titchmarsh, you can plant your daffodil bulbs as early as august. I've got a bunch of daffodil bulbs for my mother who lives out on the tip of long island, new york (usda zone 7). A bulb is a powerhouse of energy and the flower is already in there.
