gardening question on daffodils?

Question

can anyone tell me if you plant daffodil bulbs will the bulbs multiply so i can seperate them and use them instead of buying a heap of plants? and how to do this if possible.

Answer 1

The bulbs will multiply but to get max use dig them up in the fall and separate them and replant them about every two to three years. The main bulb will have three or four smaller ones you can just pull off to replant. When you do this be sure and put some bone meal down to help them form roots.

Answer 2

Yes they will multiply so you can divide them. Just wait until fall, then dig them up, separate them and replant. I did this numerous times with my daffodils...btw...when the last flower has dropped, cut the plant down to about 2 inches...the leftover stalks will take nourishment from the bulbs...that's why you cut them down.

Answer 3

They will definitely multiply. It may take several seasons. Once they have finished blooming, cut them back. Dig them up and separate them as you choose. Let them dry completely and store them in a dark dry place. Replant them IN THE FALL. Don't do this every year.

Answer 4

I just dug up a cluster of daffodils that haven't been thinned for 10 years. I have so many babies!!! Want to adopt some?

Answer 5

well I was never so lucky ,that they multiplied, but see if you get in the fall a box from the cancer inst. the sell them always here in Canada for a big box with a 100 for $ 28.-- so I catch two bird in one. do something good for cancer and have lots of daffi's

Answer 6

Yes they should spread however I would only divide the once every two years and when they are dormant.
