Can i mulch all of my flowering bushes?? How about my daffodils?

If you daffodils still have green living leaves, don't cover them up! They are busy photosynthesizing energy to make next year's flowers! If you cover them up - you'll end up with few or no flowers next year - just leaves.





The bushes - cover any exposed dirt with a couple inches of mulch. It helps keep weeds down, and retain moisture in the soil. Keep the mulch a few inches from the woody stems - you don't want a dark moist place right up next to the bark where critters %26amp; fungi may hang out. The bark needs air.

Yes, but only about three inches deep. Pull it away from the stems.
