When is the best time to plant daffodil / narsissus bulbs?

time is running out depending on where you live...you want to get them in the ground before the ground freezes to allow the roots time to get established





it doesnt take the roots very long to start growing so plant them now

Reply:According to how they are the only plant/flower in exsistance at Menards at this time ... I'd say NOW
Reply:NOW!!! Tulips can wait until November is all but the most cold climates, but narcissus go in early.
Reply:In England - now
Reply:Now,plant them now,mine are already in
Reply:if you live in zone 9 or 10, try paper whites outside in the early spring...so easy.....I am growing a series of paper whites in the house starting right now in pebbles on the bottom of a container where the bulbs do not sit in water....only the roots...I can keep them going every six weeks until next spring....the fragrance radiates all over the house...don't need more than 5 or 7 to a container..


we plant our daffodil bulbs in the open ground in November or early December
Reply:Now I plant mine in pots first so when they flower I place then where they look good as you get a better finish with colour and height
Reply:now is the latest time to plant,, so they can make good roots before winter,,not any later than the end of this month.
Reply:From the American Daffodil Society website:





"Plant the bulbs when grounds have cooled, in some climates September and for warmer climates in November."

From the Garden Guides website:





"Plant in the fall before the ground freezes, but late enough that the bulb will not begin to grow."

Reply:My daffodils, freesias and dutch irises are still in my fridge. I think it depends on where you live. I am in zone 9, can plant them now till Jan or Feb and have them do o.k. But I plan on planting them in the next few weeks.
