Terry daffodil care

These plants are unpretentious, but they also require certain conditions. Before planting, you need to take care of the soil - there should be enough humus and acidity in it. Drainage must be provided in places of groundwater.

Terry daffodils love the sun, but they can also be grown in partial shade. These plants do not like transplants, so you need to provide them with a permanent place.

Landing rules

It is necessary to plant daffodils in the fall long before frost, so that the bulb has time to take root. For the winter, you need to cover the sprouts with leaves and branches so that the roots do not freeze.

In early spring, daffodils do not need to be watered, and once a week during flowering. Weed removal should be done carefully, otherwise small sprouts can be damaged.

Digging up the bulbs is optional, but they will survive the winter well in a cool, dry room . Before planting in the ground, the bulbs should be held in a solution of potassium permanganate.
