 Daffodils should be planted at a depth of double the height of the bulb
Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten. Daffodil bulbs should be planted outdoors in October and November, with the pointed end facing upwards, at a depth of approximately 10cm (4″). Choose a sunny or semi shaded position in moist, free draining soil. Daffodils look particularly eye-catching when grown in drifts in borders or informal areas of grass. Cast the bulbs across the area and plant them where they land for a really natural effect.
For an attractive indoor display, plant Daffodils in containers in bulb fiber and position them in a cool garage or other well ventilated, dark position at a maximum temperature of 10°C. Water when necessary to keep the compost moist. When the growing shoots reach a height of 10 cm (4″) move the containers to a cool bright position indoors (approximately 16°C).
