Plant Features

Obdam Daffodil Bulbs bring unique double blooms for a remarkable spring show in the landscape, and the smell is amazing. Let the double flowering daffodil foliage die back naturally, and they will come back year after year. Recommended density: Recommended spacing for fall planted Obdam Daffodil bulbs is 4 inches apart at a depth of 6 inches.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant Obdam daffodil bulbs in the fall, ideally 6-8 weeks before the first hard frost.
  • - Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.
  • - Dig holes 6-8 inches deep, spacing bulbs 6-12 inches apart to allow for natural spreading.
  • - Position the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards.

Soil Preparation:

  • - Daffodils prefer well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
  • - Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 for best results.
  • - If the soil is heavy clay, amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage.

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water bulbs thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil.
  • - During the growing season, keep the soil moderately moist, especially during dry spells.
  • - Reduce watering once the foliage begins to yellow after blooming.

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a slow-release bulb fertilizer at planting to support root development.
  • - A second application can be made in early spring as growth begins.
  • - Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to weak stems and foliage.

Pruning and Care:

  • - Deadhead spent flowers to encourage bulb energy storage and prolong blooming.
  • - Allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for next year.
  • - Remove any yellowed leaves only after they have completely dried to ensure bulb health.

Pest Management:

  • - Obdam daffodils are generally pest-resistant but may attract aphids or narcissus bulb flies.
