I got a daffodil plant for Easter,what do I do to plant the bulb in the ground?

When the flowers have died cut them off leave as much green as you can and leave the leaves on. Then plant them out as suggested by mrs blogg about 2.5 times the depth of the original bulb in an open warm place. on the edge of a lawn or in a bank where the plant can get plenty of sun to ripen it before it goes dormant in the winter. This is a type of sleep for a bulb and it need plenty of light and good soil prior to dormancy to make the new flower for next year. For care and maintenance get hold of the Bulb growing book .

Make sure to cut off the spent blossom. This will give the bulb more energy to grow and reproduce. Another thing I have done with my daffy's, and this sounds wierd, but I hate seing all those dying leaves, but know that I have to leave them so I braid them. It gives an interesting look to your garden.
Reply:Wait until flower had died, then find a nice spot in your garden and dig a hole two and half times depth bulb and plant it. Put in a wee stick you know where it is next year.
Reply:Let the leaves die back keep them in the container or remove them to a paper bag and plant them about 6 inches in the ground this Fall.
