Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

These cheerful blooms grow best in well-drained soil and require at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, though they can tolerate partial shade. They are ideal for naturalizing, borders, or containers, bringing color to your spring garden​.

When to Grow

Popeye daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall, just before the first hard frost of the season. This allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 60-70 F.

How to Sow and Plant

Plant bulbs with the pointed end up, 6 inches deep in well-draining soil. Space bulbs about 3-6 inches apart to allow for natural spreading. Choose well-drained soil, amended with organic matter if necessary to improve drainage. Water well after planting to help establish roots​.

How to Grow

After planting, make sure the daffodils get regular water in the growing season but reduce watering once the blooms fade to avoid rot. Fertilize with a low-nitrogen fertilizer when leaves first emerge and again when they bloom. Leave the foliage to die back naturally to allow the bulbs to store energy for the next season​.

How to Save

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 divided every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure better blooming.

FAQ

Can I grow Popeye daffodils in pots?
