Is it too late to plant daffodil bulbs in jan/feb, in brooklyn?

I have a backyard garden and I know its late to plant daffodil bulbs. But I was wondering... is it too late? It's about 35-40 degrees outside this week.

Is it too late to plant daffodil bulbs in jan/feb, in brooklyn?
They need a freeze. It has been pretty chilly these last few days (also in Brooklyn), and i don't think you want to plant them when it is below freezing. Get them in quickly, and let Feb do their work. Hope your green thumb is on.
Reply:Only if they have been in cold storage prior to planting.





That would be the correct answer.





Now here is my thought .





Buy some planting soil cover the bulbs and mulch.


The soft pliable soil with let them have root growth and it's cold enough that they might think they have been dormant. Make sure to put some bone meal in with them and don't plant too deep.
Reply:The question is will you be able to find daffodil bulbs right now since they sell these in the fall you usually can not find them in the spring now if you already have the bulbs you can usually tell if the bulbs are ok by seeing if there is any green growth on the top-good sign and if the bulb is still a little hard or a lot hard its all good and go ahead and put them in the ground or in a pot of good dirt if they are mushy or soft it is too late to plant-I have planted bulbs in Montana in January for the spring and they have bloomed just fine Good Luck!(zone 4)
Reply:If you can work the soil, plant them. They may not live and they will probably skip a bloom season if they do, but you will help minimaze the regrets and dead or rotten daffodil bulds in your life.
Reply:sorry too late had to be done in the fall to root property. do not do it you will destroy them keep cool and dark till Sept. Oct.

Reply:If the ground is workable i would try it but if you dont think you want to do this you could try forcing them in a bulb pot either way i hope this helps.
