How I Plant and Maintain Daffodil Bulbs (Narcissus)💐

How I Plant and Maintain Daffodil Bulbs (Narcissus)💐 - In this video I finally am getting around to planting some of my flower bulbs. I started with the daffodils. Daffodils are probably the lowest maintenance and least troublesome of the spring flower bulbs. They are generally very reliable flowering every spring with adequate drainage and sunlight.

I didn't really set out to make a 17 minute video, but here it is. There is a bulb playlist on my channel with bulb videos that I shot last fall as well. It might be helpful. Thanks for watching

[@danlewis1871]

Hi Jim: Thanks so much for all you do. When is the latest I can plant daffodils? I live in zone 6b on Long Island. The ground is still workable. Thanks. Merry Christmas.

[@JimPutnam]

The end of the year without loosing any. Thanks for watching.

[@danlewis1871]

HortTube with Jim Putnam thank you!

[@stevewilliams8806]

Jim, wife and I love your videos. Hey you need to get a drill that comes with side handle for that auger before you snap a wrist. Thanks again for all you do..

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

Really helpful to me as a newbie! My bulbs are older from a discount store & occasionally, sadly stored in plastic store bag:(. I love your informative and detailed advice, but is it possible to reuse soil in above ground garden after these are done blooming or should I keep it separate between flowers & veggies? Otherwise would like to plant!

Back in the late 80's when I was a much younger man I scraped some pennies together and bought about 100 Tulip bulbs to plant at my first ever home. I may as well put a sign up for the squirrels to say "salad bar" as they had a field day digging them up over the winter LOL. I now plant exclusively daffodils as the squirrels and the deer will leave them alone. Another great informative video thank you Mr. Putnam.

[@sislertx]

Me.too and i out them pots Three years later they still dig up.pots looming for bulbs...i hate squirrels

[@Rinsuki]

@@sislertx Sprinkle a little blood meal. I hang blood meal pouches on my fruit trees. It keeps rabbit and squirrels away because it smells like death. XD.

[@itkahsramal4983]

So did I. Over 50 and 5 different tulips bulbs, three year's later this past spring only three Miniature tulips popped up. This year I'm making a chicken wire cage. Oh the squirrels got my crocuses too!

[@peggyjk]

Daffodils are wonderful, this should be beautiful next spring, please show us how the look then.

[@jimnowinski2247]

Thanks for all you do ! Always enjoy your vids , Happy Holidays !

good info jim.

[@pauldavies5655]

there is a little trick with daffodils , leave them after flowering as said above . but when in the ground , as soon as they start to yellow badly - either put the lawn mover over them , ( if in the lawn - as i got them . ) or pull them from beds , the same time as tulips and hyacinths and lay all the bulbs with leaves attached under a lot of old wet MULCH leaves untill bulb leaf are no more . then store untill planting time in your particular area . Ps --- all bulbs can be left in ground normally but it does seem better to lift some varieties . PPs --- i m from WALES and daffodils are our national flower.

Great tip on the auger! I have clay as well 😩

[@beckylupu]

Hello! I know this is an older video, but I love in Houston just bought me a bag of these bulbs and I am wondering when to put them into the ground because Houston does not get any hard freezes.

[@ArthurHau]

You can use a cement drill with a front handle!

[@ritameyer6915]

When can I plant my bulbs that I received that were in bloom daffodils tulip hyacinth

[@ritameyer6915]

I got a lot of tulip daffodils and hyacinth already in bloom when should I plant tem

[@katherinerivera8302]

Hello I got myself some Narcissus and Buettercups bulbs. I am new to this and want to know if I can plant them in October?I live in California and the temperature is very hot or warm most of the time.

[@saphire82]

I just did this with a rented Bosch drill corded and it also had a stabilizer which really helps. I have clay soil and I mean it helped dig the hole but didn’t get very far because I think it hit the clay and then everything was so dry it just kept filling back in I couldn’t just drop it in there I had to dig it out anyway so I’m like what’s the point. Next year I think I’m gonna try just digging a trench.

[@timmcquain3855]

SWEET,! ....Jim THX so much for the helpful info,!! I live in Charlotte N.C. on state line of S.C Sooo,... WUT area temp "zone" number would this be,????

[@ivyandroses25]

Jim, when you say dafs limit flowering on other flowers, what limitations does that cause? Should I not plant certain flowers nearby? Is that only when they are flowering or all the time??

[@Mom2MrBabyHaikin]

I am in zone 6B, but we rent & I need to plant in a container. Worried that it might not be dry enough there... What would you do for soil if planting in pots?

[@starlakelsey2782]

very rocky area where I wanted bulbs last fall. Broke an auger. I mean, tore it apart. Pine mulch looks very nice where I can't plant anything! LOL My new yard guys charge double to put anything in ground. Oh, if only it were just clay...throw some good old rock in there. Changes everything. Nobody wants to work in my yard as far as planting. sigh.....

[@JimPutnam]

Rocks are definitely no fun. I had many jobs over the years that I regretted taking, because of the rocks

[@2qlrn273]

TNT. You need an explosives specialist to precede the gardener! LOL!

[@changsu7384]

Hi Jeff, where do you buy these big bag of bulbs?

[@JimPutnam]

Colorblends wholesale flowerbulbs

[@ellengill514]

Jim. do you know where I can find a source for heirloom daffodils?

[@JimPutnam]

I think white flower farm has a few varieties.

[@kringles65]

Jim, I chilled the bulbs in frig. for 12 weeks.plsnted some in soil. Will chill for two more weeks. Trying single bulb in hyacinth vase. One week later I don't see any root formation in the water. Did I screw up?

[@JimPutnam]

They are likely fine as long as they are still firm. It takes a while to go from 35 degrees to new growth.

[@kringles65]

@@JimPutnam That's encouraging. They're currently in a garage that is heated to 55 . So maybe I'm just too impatient.

[@NanaWilson-px9ij]

That's a totally different flower.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

How much power does your drill have? I tried to use a bulb auger today and it wouldn't penetrate the clay soil. Is the problem my soil, the auger, or the drill?

[@solarroofing8072]

soil. if it's that hard, you need to till in some organic matter

[@melissamybubbles6139]

@@solarroofing8072 Definitely. I don't have a tiller. I do have a dandelion fork. With sometimes great effort, it penetrated the soil. I stuffed leaves and pot soil in the holes.

[@CharliecatII]

I left mine in the basement and the mice ate them (old farmhouse)

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, they will eat them or at least damage them

[@chopsandarchie7015]

I am still traumatised from my first planting of any veg'. I planted two rows of purple sprouting broccoli and came out one day to find, literally in a matter of two hours, that the bloody pigeons had scoffed the lot, leaving only these ethereal broccoli plant skeletons. A serious question: how do people manage to grow in scale PSB, tulips, or whatever the birds and squirrels like to eat? I cannot se how anything can survive short of netting the lot? Thanks.
