All my plants are grown in my own personal gardens, ponds, and woodlands.   I ship all plants BARE ROOT, meaning your plants will be freshly dug the morning I send to you, wrapped in wet toweling, then placed in plastic zip bags for shipping. I also trim the plants back for better shipping, and less transplant shock once you get them planted.  Please contact me right away if you have any questions or concerns.  Once received, please plant immediately.  Any remaining foliage should be expected to wilt or wither when transplanting... THIS DOES NOT MEAN PLANTS ARE DEAD.  Most plants/roots need several weeks to bounce back after transplanting. 

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:  1)  I DO USE PLASTIC ZIP BAGS FOR SAFER SHIPPING
                                                             2) MOST PLANTS WILL HAVE SOME DIRT OR MUD (ESPECIALLY POND PLANTS CAN TEND TO HAVE MUDDY ROOT SYSTEMS)
                                                             3) ALL PLANTS WILL BE TRIMMED FOR SHIPPING

Daffodils, the flowers symbolizing friendship, are some of the most popular flowers exclusively due to their unmatched beauty. Daffodils belong to the genus Narcissus. Daffodil flowers have a trumpet-shaped structure set against a star-shaped background.

Often the trumpet is in a contrasting color from the background. The name Daffodils includes the cluster-flowered yellow Jonquils and the White Narcissi , as well as the include as the more common trumpet shaped flowers (right), members of the genus Narcissus.

Sunny, yellow daffodils are a wonderful sign that spring has arrived! Plant the bulbs in the fall and they will bloom in late winter or early spring. Daffodils are hardy and easy perennials to grow in most areas in North America, except Southern Florida.

Their attractive flowers usually bear showy yellow or white flowers with six petals and a trumpet-shape central corona. Leafless stems bear between 1 and 20 flowers; sometimes the flowers need to be staked so that they don't weigh down the stems.

Daffodils are suitable for planting between shrubs or in a border, or for forcing blooms indoors. They also look wonderful in a woodland garden and in large groves. You'll find that many gardeners plant the bulbs not just by the dozens but by the hundreds! Their flowers are excellent for cutting.
Steps to growing Daffodils.

    Choose a well-drained, sunny place, with a slightly acidic soil.
    Plant your Daffodils so that their top (pointed end) is at least two times as deep as the bulb is high (top of a 2" bulb is 4" deep).
    Plant bulbs deeper in sandy soil than in clay.
    High-nitrogen fertilizers should be avoided.
    Daffodils need lots of water while they are growing.
    After blooming, never cut the foliage until it begins to turn yellow (usually late May or June).
    This is then the time to dig them. Wash the bulbs thoroughly and let them dry completely (at least a week).
    Put them in onion sacks (or panty hose) and hang them in the coolest place you can find until they're ready to plant. Good air circulation will keep the storage rot at a minimum.


Indoor Forcing Pre-Chilled Bulbs- Here is what you do: buy several bulbs, as many as will fit in the container you plan to use.  Plan to crowd them…this is not the time to be stingy.  Bulbs grow in a shallow bowl surrounded with pebbles, a low pot filled with dirt, or even a tall clear vase that is wide enough to hold a cluster of bulbs set on top of some rocks.
 
Whether you use pebbles, marble chips or dirt, put a layer of your chosen planting medium in the bottom of your dish, and place the bulbs on top of this layer... you can crowd bulbs close together, but not touching each other.  Cover the bulbs with the soil or rocks leaving the tips of the bulbs exposed.

Wet the planted bulbs until the water reaches the base of the bulbs; the soil or rocks in the bottom of the container keep the bulbs from staying too damp.  Put the finished container in a sunny window, and remember to water just before it gets dry.  Blooms will be about 2-3 weeks.
