Growth of Daffodil Bulbs

If you are a home and garden enthusiast, botanist, or just grow flowers and plants as a hobby, daffodils are a great flower for you to add to your collection. One the reasons why they are so popular is because daffodil bulbs are easy to grow and they are able to grow throughout much of the United States. Daffidils are one of the easiest, if not the easiest, flowers to grow. They are very dependable and the bulb is almost guaranteed to plant effectively and bloom flowers within the season. Another positive growth habit of daffodil bulbs is when they are planted and also when they are growing, the flower is very tolerant of cold weather (and of course naturally of warm and hot weather). This means that daffodils are grown throughout the United States, even in cold areas. They even can withstand a thin layer of snow!

Daffodils are found all the way up to the Canadian border and beyond. However, it should be cautioned that daffodil bulbs require a slight frost or cold treatment in order to initiate the budding sequence. This can be done naturally or artificially. Some species of daffodil bulbs, such as some cultivars like tazettas, are a little less resistant to cold weather and do not like to be exposed to frosts or lower temperatures. These are nice for warm regions such as Florida and other parts of the South.
