Fertilizing Daffodils

by M. Edgar

I have about 30 daffodils coming up in my morning sun front garden. The soil here is good and I added a bit of composted manure last summer. Do I need another fertilizer? Is fish emulsion OK on daffodils?

Doug says a shovel or three of compost in the spring is all they'll need. Do they need it every year? Doug's first rule of gardening says you only have to feed your plants if you want leaves, flowers or fruit. Enough said. :-)

Fertilizing Daffodils
by: Anonymous

I bought a bunch as they are beautiful and I remember my mother planting them in Ohio, I live in Florida now; but, wanted to see them in pots around my deck. What I did was plant them in January as advised to do for this area, and when I put them in the pots I put in some bone meal and plant fertilizer at the bottom part of the pot.

Of course, our winter normally starts here in November; which it didn't this year, it stayed warm, didn't get cold til last week, now its freezing. I'm only hopeful that all the ones that bloomed will come back this Spring.

I have pics of one in particular that I really liked will try to share with you all. It's called the Spring Cheer Daffodil and is very pretty, it's drooping now though; but, think it's because of the cold weather?
