Am I to late to plant daffodils for next April.?

I really like them

Am I to late to plant daffodils for next April.?
You could probably put them in pots and keep them in the greenhouse. I think outside wouldn't work though - they need to be in the ground before frosts.
Reply:alot depends on where you live...here in Texas i'm just getting mine into the ground...the weather has been unusually warm here till just this month, the leaves are falling off the trees and and now it is finally starting to feel more like fall so i am planting them tomorrow ...with the hope of the promised rain and cooler temps coming our way
Reply:it depends :)
Reply:Not if you can get them in the ground! I live in Las Vegas NV and mine are still in the fridge! Tomorrow I will finish the bed I'm making for them and tulips and Iris's and in they go! I know they will bloom as last year I planted lillys in April! I think they don't bloom "as well" not as big a blooms or as many if they had gone into the ground earlier. Good luck!
Reply:This is usually the time I remember I've forgotten to plant mine and just stick them in. They sometimes come up, just a little later than my neighbours daffs though.
Reply:If you can get a fork in the ground - put them in! They will bloom a bit later probably. Make sure you break the soil up before back-filling the holes so that there are no big air pockets that standing water can get trapped in and freeze around the bulbs! Other than that, they will do just fine. I've just planted some Alliums and some daffs deliberately late to extend the colour in the garden.... :-)
