I was gifted some daffodil bulbs my friend dug up and gave me. When should I plant them?

Question

It is mid April in Mid-Atlantic region, zone 7. She didn’t leave any green on them. Will they survive and bloom if I cure them or should I stick them in the ground now?

Answer 1

Some of your bulbs may survive, others not. If these were non-blooming bulbs (from over-crowding, too much shade) then they are in better shape. A bulb that bloomed but didn't have time to re-nourish the bulb may be able to send up leaves next year and bloom the second year. There is no harm in trying; plant them out now, 6-8 inches deep.
