Daffodil
The Deer-Proof Harbinger of Spring
Daffodils are the most reliable spring-flowering bulbs you can plant. Unlike tulips, which are often eaten by deer and squirrels, Daffodils contain a bitter substance that makes them totally pest-proof. They return year after year, often multiplying to form larger clumps of cheerful yellow, white, or orange trumpet flowers.
Why You Need It:
- Deer & Rodent Proof: The only bulb you can plant and guarantee it won't be eaten.
- Long Lived: Daffodils can outlive the gardener who planted them.
- Early Color: One of the first signs that winter is finally over.
Planting Tips:
Plant bulbs in the Fall (September-November). They thrive in Full Sun to Part Shade. After blooming, let the foliage turn yellow and die back naturally—this recharges the bulb for next year's flowers.
