The Daffodil Convention

Plant ahead for a successful Daff-Con 2023: Look, conventions take a lot of time and energy to prep, but this one is pretty simple: get the bulbs, dig some holes, boop them in, cover, water, and wait for the Daffs-Daffs to arrive in the spring. You can bet your nifty name tag you’ll have the best swag display in the exhibit hall, friend.

Includes 5 bags of 12 bulbs each: Sir Winston Churchill, Minnow, Eirlicheer, Delnashaugh, and Mini Triandura Thalia Daffodils. Each variety comes individually tagged in a cotton bag, with 12 bulbs per variety for a total of 60 bulbs

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole and tuck your bulbs in, pointy side up, about 6" deep (roughly 3 times the size of the bulbs) and about 5" apart. You can plant them closer for a fuller display, but be sure the bulbs don't touch. Now fill in the soil, give it a few solid pats so it compresses around the bulbs, then give it a long drink of water. Mark that pot or spot with your wooden plant marker so you know where your Daffodils live now. Wait for spring
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets at least partial sun; 4 or more hours a day
When to Plant	If planting in a cold region, plant in the fall, anytime before the ground freezes for the last time. If planting in a warm region, (zones 9 and warmer), place your bulbs in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, in the bags they came in, by themselves (without other produce). Remove from fridge after at least 6 weeks and plant in late winter
When to Expect Blooms	Mid spring
Care Instructions	Water when soil is dry, once leaves appear.
Extra Credit	If planting in a container, be sure the pot has ample drainage. Fill the bottom 2-3" of the pot with pebbles to prevent clogging. Wait for the foliage to wilt and turn yellow before clipping it back late spring, so that the bulb can store energy for the next year's blooms. When picking flowers for bouquets, be sure to leave at least one leaf per plant
