Are daffodils difficult to grow?
No. They are probably the easiest and most dependable of all the families of flowers and ideal for a beginner in gardening in most regions of the United States.

How long is the flowering season of daffodils?
From six weeks to six months, depending on where you live and the cultivars you grow. Visit the US Bulb Planting Region Map to find out more about when to plant your bulbs.
