When should i plant my daffodil bulbs?

I am wondering when it is the best time to plant?Is the weather still too cold?

When should i plant my daffodil bulbs?
They should have been planted in Autumn.
Reply:Oh dear you should have done this in the autumn.You will have to get yourself a nice spring planter from the garden centre to cheer yourself up for this spring and remember to plant them next autumn!
Reply:Plant them in autumn, as daffodil bulbs like tulips and other plants need frost ( at least a period of cold weather) to flower. They also need t be in the ground for a bit, so I think you are a bit too late. But give it a go, who knows! I am not true expert after all ;-) I just know this because my mom - and she is Dutch, and Dutch people like bulbs - who likes gardening and plants bulbs every year.
Reply:you could chance it if the ground is thawed enough to plant, but should have planted in Oct or about then in the fall....you could try..
Reply:You should have had them in during Autumn but its probably not to late, it will just take longer for them to get to flowering stage than others in your district as they need time to set root.


Dont worry about the cold, they are etremely hardy. Its a cultural requirement of theres to need a cold spell.


People who live in a warm region cannot grow such bulbs without refriderating them, like tulips, they will not put up with the heat.


You have no need to lift them once planted unless you want to break up the clumps of bulbs.
Reply:cold? its almost tropical!
Reply:You should have planted them in November. If you plant now, they may grow without a flower, but try them anyway.
Reply:In the Fall.
Reply:They should of been planted about September. You have left it very late.
Reply:We already have some daffodils in flower. You should have planted them ages ago. But, last year i also planted some late and they still flowered. Do it now before the ground is frozen over. I love flowers go for it.:))
Reply:Mine were put in in September and they are coming up already
Reply:Around now is a good time.
Reply:RIGHT NOW, DONT DELAY !!!! chat soon love ya babez xxx
Reply:those should have been planted previous to the first frost in your area.
Reply:sorry but its a little bit late now, why not store them til next year, unless you want to give them a go, you can always leave them in
Reply:You are too late but you may get away with it if you plant now but do not expect a good show.
Reply:October
Reply:September/Autumn is the best time to plant these so they can be flowering in the spring.


The will grow every year after that.


In the Autumn, there are places like B%26amp;Q and Homebase that have big bags of bulbs.


They look great when flowering.
Reply:Most people already have them in: they're quite hardy.
Reply:They should have been planted in the fall.
