Default Problem with my daffs

Hi i planted about 100 blubs last year and what i've seen so far most
have come up but they have started to flop over, some of these are
under raised hedges so really they are protected by the wind.

What is causing this, is it becuase i have planted them too shallow?
(planted them approx 6")


The planting depth is fine. I suspect that your bulbs were dug up
before the foliage had time to die back and feed the bulb. And if
they're close to a hedge, they may have been short of water and varoius
nutrients. I should think that next year you'll have no problem.
