Daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall months before the ground freezes. Why autumn when it's a spring flower?

  • The bulb must be exposed to cold temperatures for the formation of the flower bud.
  • The bulb roots should be established prior to freezing temperatures.
  • To break dormancy & bloom, must spring bulbs need 12-14 weeks of temps below 45F.
However, they can be planted in February for a slightly later bloom than you would normally get from that particular variety.
  • Plant time zone 1-4: late August and September
  • Plant time zone 4-7: September through December

Certainly you can plant daffodils in March, and they may come up, but unless they have previously had a cold treatment, they will not bloom until the next year. I have also transplanted daffodils in March, and most did not flower the following year.
