Forcing daffodils

Question

I thought giving blooming daffodils in a pretty container would make a great Christmas gift. How long does it take for them to grow/bloom and do I have enough time for the holidays? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If the bulbs are pre-chilled, they take about 6-8 weeks to grow and bloom. If they are not pre-chilled, you will need to chill them for 6-12 weeks and then plant them (and wait 6-8 weeks for them to bloom).
