Plant daffodil onions correctly

General information

Daffodils are also known as daffodils (botanically: Narcissus pseudonarcissus) or daffodil bulbs. With their beautiful large flowers, they are one of the most popular flowers in the home garden that you can find in both Planter as well as in the soil in the garden. Be careful when buying the Onions on the many different varieties.

The best time to plant daffodils is autumn (September / October), before the first frost arrives. Then the soil is often too hard to put the tubers in the ground. Daffodils bloomed for several years and can produce flowers from their bulbs up to 20 times.

Don't plant the plants too close together. Because new onions form again from the mother onions, so that a lack of space in the flower pot can quickly arise. If you want to plant the flower bulbs in a pot or container, make sure that this has a drainage hole as a water drainage hole. Otherwise waterlogging can build up, which in turn leads to rotten roots.
