Can a daffodil be cultivated, not from the bulb but from the seeds left over in the top after flowering?

Most Daffodils are hybrids of one sort or another so you may not get an exact replica of the adult plant.


The downside about growing daffodils from seed is that it takes about 5-6 years for the seed to make a bulb to reach blooming size. At least it takes that long in my area. In warmer climates, I'm told they sometimes bloom in 4 years.

Yes, but the wait can be a bit long.
Reply:Yes but it takes a long while, why bother?
