Master Gardeners: Four Months of Cheerful Daffodils

Daffodils brighten your garden with their colorful and sweet-smelling blossoms and can last 4-6 weeks.
By Sharon Dent

Daffodils are one of the earliest flowers to bloom in the spring. It is gone fast though. Luckily the bloom period can be lengthened with succession planting of daffodils that bloom early, late, and in-between. In January the first foliage starts to peek up above the soil. Then 4-6 weeks later the flowers start appearing and the blooms also last 4-6 weeks and the plant foliage starts fading. Following are types of daffodils that bloom on different schedules.

Early – Barrett Browning, Tete a Tete, February Gold, Little Gem, and Rijnveld’s Early Sensation

Mid-Spring – Cheerfulness, Jet Fire

Late – Pheasant Eye

Happy blooms all spring long.
