When to Grow

Plant Sweet Ocean bulbs in fall, about four to six weeks before the ground freezes - late September through October in most regions - so they root well before winter. Check local frost dates to determine an exact planting time. The bulbs bloom in mid-spring. If you're not sure how to find your area's first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Plant bulbs with the pointed end up, 6 inches deep and spaced 3-6 inches apart. For mass plantings, group them for a dense display of blooms. Make sure that the area has good drainage to prevent bulb rot.

How to Grow

After planting, water thoroughly and mulch to protect the bulbs over winter. Once the plants begin growing in spring, water as needed and let the foliage die back naturally after blooming to store energy for the next year. Fertilize lightly in spring.

How to Save Seeds

These perennials will return and fill in year after year, making them a long-lasting choice for your garden. Over time, daffodil bulbs multiply and can be dug up and divided every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure better blooming.
