Daffodils (Narcissus) come up in early spring. Their blossoms are wonderful to see indicating spring is here!
These early bloomers are great for filling in the early spring habit with blossoms for native pollinators and bees.
Daffodil bulbs are planted rather deep and therefore are deeper than most other plants. This allows other plants to be planted in the same area with a layering of planting depths and growing times throughout the year. Daffodil are typically done blooming and mature by the time other plants are into their spring growth. I have planted many around my fruit trees.
Daffodils bulbs are not eaten by subterranean animals such as moles and mice. Deer do not eat the plants. This allows them to survive thru the winter and in the early spring time when not much is available to be eaten by animals.
Here is an article about Daffodils from the Old Farmer’s Almanac: https://www.almanac.com/plant/daffodils#
I purchased my Daffodils from Farm &Fleet in Chippewa Falls and Amazon.com
Daffodils are typically planted in autumn before the ground freezes.
Below are photos of Daffodils from my backyard orchard.
