More Tips about the Growth of Daffodil Bulbs

Choosing a place to grow your daffodils is very important. You'll want to make sure several factors are in place before considering planting your daffodil bulbs in a certain place. First all, though daffodil bulbs are very resilient, hardy, and can be grown in just about all regions of the United States, it doesn't mean that your grounds may be the optimal soil or area to maximize growth of your daffodils. You'll want to make sure that the daffodil bulbs have a nutrient rich and moist soil to thrive in. This means that you should not plant daffodils near or under deep rooted trees and plants, such as evergreens and ivy, will do great harm to the flower. Their extremely hardy and vigorous growing nature consume most of the water and nutrients in the surrounding soil.

Shallow rooted trees and plants such as many deciduous trees are okay for growing daffodils. Tap roots compared to shallow roots, however, are more favorable for planting your daffodil bulbs. You may also be wondering if daffodils will grow under shade. The answer is yes. By the time the daffodil flower has finished flowering and the foilage has begun to mature, the deciduous tree will have begun or finished losing its leaves. Though if you plant daffodil bulbs under the shade of trees, it's better if you don't have them directly under the tree.
