Plant daffodils in the autumn, before the ground freezes, in loose, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot or bright partial shade, where the leaves can receive light during their spring growth. Place the bulbs with the tip pointing upwards, at the depth recommended for their size, then backfill without displacing them. Water if the soil is dry to encourage contact with the roots. Planting in small groups helps distribute the bloom throughout the flowerbed. Keep a discreet marker to avoid disturbing the bulbs once the aerial parts have disappeared after their cycle. After flowering, remove faded flowers, keeping the stems and leaves that are still green. The foliage allows the bulbs to replenish their reserves before dormancy. Wait for it to yellow naturally before cutting it, without tying or braiding it to conceal it. During growth, water as needed if the soil dries out significantly, especially for a recent planting or in containers. Let the clumps establish themselves and divide them only when they become too crowded or flower less. Daffodils are ornamental plants that are toxic if ingested: keep the bulbs separate from food onions and out of reach of children and animals.
