7-10 DaysDaffodils - Narcissus
Daffodils are gorgeous and one of Spring's first blooming perennials. They offer predominantly yellow flowers whose showy blossoms begin to appear in March and continue through April as a beautiful reminder that spring has arrived. As common as they are in the United States, primarily through the Midwest, they are native to Europe, China, Japan, Afghanistan, and northern Africa. It is thought that European colonizers brought them to America, where they quickly became naturalized.

Notable Characteristics - Daffodil Plants
Daffodils come from the genus Narcissus, which is named for a Greek myth in which the young god Narcissus fell so in love with his own reflection that he died, and the gods turned him into this flower. A single leafless, hollow stem grows from the plants’ bulb, along with several narrow, strap-like leaves.
The flower has six stamens which emerge from a tubular center with scalloped edges. The six petals form around the center and are usually yellow, but can also be white. The trumpet-like center is usually yellow, but can also be orange, providing a range of color combinations for these sunny perennials.
Landscape and Maintenance of Daffodils Plants
The showy, yellow flowers are very common throughout the United States, and can thrive in many climatic environments. They grow the best in partial shade or full sun, and feel at home deep in many types of soil including clay, loam, or sandy soil. The large blossoms and six pollen bearing stamens are a major pollinator attractant, luring in butterflies and bees.
Daffodils are long lived, easy to establish, and make beautiful cut flowers. Their sunny, yellow blooms will always be a perfect reminder that spring has come to your garden.

How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs
Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.
For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.
Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.
