Narcissus hybrids--Daffodil

Height: 20 in   Spacing: 9 in                               
Type: hardy bulb                                            
Flowers: Orange, pink, red, white, yellow                   

Comments: There are many types of Daffodils and most are    
suitable for naturalistic planting.  They are long-lived    
but will not tolerate water-logged soil.  They do like a    
fertile well-drained soil.  The flowers last longer in      
partial shade.  Daffodils are planted in the fall, 6        
inches deep and 6 inches apart.  Plant miniatures closer    
together and not as deep.  Double nosed bulbs are actually  
two blooming sized bulbs joined together.  These produce    
two flowers instead of one.                                 

Propagation: Daffodils are divided when the leaves mature.  
Many leaves and few flowers indicate a need for dividing.
