Daffodil and Narcissus Tips for May

Daffodil and Narcissus Tips for May

Deadheading

These Daffodils growing in grass have naturalised successfully and don’t get deadheaded but in your garden deadheading is a good idea.

May Activity for Daffodils.

  1. Pinch or cut off the seedhead before they swell to channel energy into bulbs.
  2. The leaves are busy converting sunlight and nutrients into sugars and stronger bulbs for next year.
  3. Do not cut off the leaves of Daffodills until they die back
  4. Apply a dilute liquid feed via the leaves with a good spray of fertilizer.
  5. As the leaves yellow at the end of the month you can split large clumps of bulbs. Replant 5-6″ apart in new soil or revitalise existing soil.
  6. When replanting do not bury the old foliage.
  7. Mark where your best Daffodils are so you do not dig them up by mistake.
  8. Plan  where  and what Narcissus you are growing next year.
