Miniature daffodil planting
 

A dear friend (knowing I was sick) brought me a lovely 4-inch planter of
miniature daffodils.

So my questions is "Do I separate the bulbs when I transplant them to a
large planter on my back porch."

Finally how deep do I plant them? For example, do I place the bulbs 6 inches
below the surface, 12 inches below the surface, or other?

As always, thank you for your time.

You can separate them as much as you'd like, although (depending upon their
vigor) it might be a season before they bloom again. Generally speaking,
planting to a depth which is equal to 3 times the diameter of the bulb is a
safe way to go.

Hi Karen,

Great advice from David. I would add to be sure and let the leaves turn yellow before removing or cutting them. They will make food for the bulb so it can bloom again. Consider planting them in a group about 3" apart so they look like a nice clump when they bloom.

Hope you feel better soon.
