Prepare daffodils for spring displays

-

Plant your daffodil bulbs now to get a strong flower display next spring. Daffs can be planted any time between now and November, but the sooner they go in, the stronger the root establishm­ent and subsequent flowering will be.

Daffodil bulbs are best in fertile, free-draining soil, in sun or part shade. Choose the position according to their height too, planting small ones in the front of a border, with large-flowering types making an impact further back.

For reliable flowering, plant your bulbs deep, ensuring that the tips are covered in soil to twice the height of the bulb.
