Planting Tips
When is the best time to plant Daffodils?*
As soon as the soil temperature goes below 56 degrees is the best time. In greater Louisville that us usually early October. If the soil is too warm your bulbs may rot before they root.
What if I can’t get them planted before then?
Keep your stored bulbs in a cool, dry, well- ventilated spot until you plant. You can plant Daffs as late as January or February, but earlier planting is always recommended. Late-planted bulbs will likely bloom later and the flowers may be smaller and off-color from what is typical for your particular variety. It is always best to plant your Daffs as soon as possible once soil temp has cooled to 56 degrees.
