Minnow Daffodil Bulbs
Minnow Daffodils are the sweetest little things you will ever see because: they're miniature! They open with pale yellow petals with a yellow cup, and as they age the petals fade to a milky-white color. The bitty 1" (or less!) blooms come 3-5 per stem, and have a wonderful fragrance. Low-growing, a good choice for the front of your garden, and totally adorable.
Daffodils wake up early each spring and there are many varieties that go beyond the friendly yellow bloom we know so well. Richly fragrant, these bulbs will spread out or 'naturalize' over the years.
Includes 12 bulbs in a cloth bag with planting instructions and a wooden label stake.

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 |
