What is the tallest daffodil?
Generally the large-cup varieties are the tallest, reaching heights about 20 or more inches tall.
Daffodils, which have given a good show for nine years, this year the majority came up blind although the leaves looked healthy enough. Should I leave them to try another year, or just dig them up and replace? Regards Brian cooper
This could be due to any number of things. If they did not have sufficent chilling, then their blooming will be poor. If the plants are overcrowded, then blooming will be decreased as well. Light and drainage can be issues as well, but only if nearby trees, etc. have recently changed would this affect you or your neighbor. Finally, the soil could be lacking phosphorus, which is important for flowering. You can mix bone meal in the soil around your plants to add more phosphorus.

I had to uproot some daffodil bulbs. Can I replant them in this heat, as long as I keep the watered, or should I repot them and bring them in the house? Or what?
You may want to consider storing them until fall. Daffodils require a cooling period in order to produce healthy blooms each season. Planting them when it's hot may interfere with this natural process, as they're usually dormant this time of year.
Can you advise me on why tete-a-tete daffodils grown indoors are blind?

I planted a dozen daffodils in two large pots on my patio and the leaves came up looking healthy, but when the stem for the bloom came up, the bloom just started to come out and turned brown before it opened. What did I do wrong?

However, it didn't address your question. I think your lack of bloom expansion could be weather related. At least that's what happened to our daffodils this year. As the buds were developing in the seath, we had really bad weather, and they just gave up. Don't cut the foliage until it starts to decline on its own. This feeds next years blooms.
They got cut back too soon last year. This year they didn't bloom. What do I do to make them bloom again?
Keep the foliage fed and watered until it starts dying back on its own. That feeds the bloom bud for next year.
I would like some information on the storing of my spring bulbs. I had daffodils, tulips, crocuses and hyacinths in containers. They have all now nearly finished flowering - I am aware I need to leave the leaves to yellow and not cut them but do I lift them all and store indoors over winter? Also, I need to separate my crocus bulbs and would like to know when to do this. Thank you. .
store the bulbs in the garage in a bag until ready to plant in fall no need to take out of there container
