zone 8Q.Is it okay to move daffodil bulbs in May?
I had bulbs planted in a pot I want to use for annuals. I dug up the daffodil bulbs and put them in a plastic bag. Is it okay to replant them or should I throw them away?

May 26, 2015A.Go ahead and plant out the daffodil bulbs.
I would not store them in plastic bags, they would most likely mold or rot stored in that manner.Here is a link about planting Daffodils.

June 20, 2015Q.Daffodils
My daffodils bloomed beautiful, but late here in New York. I still have the leaves flatten to the ground; however, they are still green. Can I cut them off? Traditionally, I have waited until they turned brown, and just gently tugged them out. These are still attached and I am afraid that if I cut them, they will ruin my bulbs for next year! Please help with any advice that you have!

Certified ExpertA.Do not cut these. Allow them to die down naturally, as you have in the past. The plants need their foliage in order to produce enough energy for continued bulb growth.

August 14, 2015A.It could be the bulbs are just taking a rest and are building strength so that they can bloom the next year. You could try digging up the bulbs and separating them and then planting them in a more spread-out way so that they will multiply and bloom better the next year.

Knoxville, TN 37922Q.Planting Peruvian White Daffodil bulbs
My mother just sent me 4 Peruvian White Daffodil bare root bulbs as a house warming gift. I live in Knoxville, TN., which I believe is zone 7a. The instructions that came with them said to plant up to the crown, which I did. It just seems like an odd time of year to be planting bulbs anyway, much less with their tender growth sticking out into the sun. It said they want full sun 6-8 ours a day. We have irrigation in our flower beds so they are getting plenty of water, but the little growth at the top of the bulbs that were left out are not looking happy. Should I expect them to die off and hopefully re-emerge next spring?

August 13, 2015A.The Peruvian White Daffodil bulbs are hardy in zones 8-10.
Normally should be planted in the spring for summer blooms that are quite beautiful but not very long lasting.
Since you all ready have planted them, allow them to grow through the fall and when the leaves die down you will need to lift the bulbs and store for the winter.
Many gardeners grow these in pots.
Here is a link about bulb winter storage.
