Daffodils like plenty of sun and a well drained soil. It is a good idea to prepare your soil before planting by digging through some well rotted manure or compost a few weeks prior to planting. This will improve drainage and add nutrients to the soil, giving your Daffodils a good start.

Plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high with the pointy end up. The depth will protect them from heat and soil erosion. Space 10-20cm apart, more if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise.

Once the flowering has finished you can remove the flower stem. Allow the foliage of your Daffodils to remain until it has yellowed. This fading foliage gathers energy and nutrients at this time for next years blooms. Keep relatively moist during this time and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release brands which are low in nitrogen (this encourages more flowers)
