Daffodil Seeds
Is it difficult to grow daffodils from seed? I recieved my first few
daffodil bulbs as a gift this year, and loved them. I'm wondering if growing them from seed would be the most frugal way of filling my garden with them next year, or if bulbs are really the way to go? -Fleemo |

Unless you are breeding your own hybrids or have seeds of rare species, it
would be a waste of time growing Narcissus from seeds. It takes several years to get a flowering size bulb from seed. Many of the hybrids grown from seed would probably be inferior anyway.
