Default Daffodils that don't bloom

On 2007-05-01 11:58:24 -0400, "helco" said:

I have some clumps of daffodils that don't bloom or else bloom very
sparsely. Some have buds that die off. I've tried giving them bone meal
after bloom (or nonbloom), but it hasn't helped. Other daffodils in my yard
bloom profusely. I am about to dig up the non-bloomers. Question: Should
I try replanting them elsewhere, with nice compost in the holes etc., or
should I let them do their bit by tossing them into the compost pile?

Daffs tend to bury themselves deeper after a few years and that will
stop blooming. After the foliage dies back separate and replant them.
4-6 inches deep.
