Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Sweet Ocean daffodil grows best in rich, sandy soil. It prefers full sun to partial shade and should be planted in fall. Water well after planting and maintain moisture during the growing season.

When to Grow

Plant Sweet Ocean bulbs in the fall, just before the first hard frost of the season. This ensures the bulbs have time to establish roots before winter. Check local frost dates to determine an exact planting time. The bulbs bloom in mid-spring.

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

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.
