Erlicheer Daffodils, (pronounced "early cheer"), are pretty little bundles of joy that pop up in the very early springtime like ready-to-go bouquets. With up to 8 double blooms per stem, pure white petals on the outside with a lemon-cream inside, they smell divine, and will come back year after year.

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, plant at the coldest time of year. Plant anytime indoors.
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.
