They should have been planted in Autumn.

Plant them in autumn, as daffodil bulbs like tulips and other plants need frost ( at least a period of cold weather) to flower. They also need t be in the ground for a bit, so I think you are a bit too late. But give it a go, who knows! I am not true expert after all ;-) I just know this because my mom - and she is Dutch, and Dutch people like bulbs - who likes gardening and plants bulbs every year.

It is getting late, but if you can put them in the ground, they should produce blooms for you. The bulb already contains the nutrients to support a flower stalk. The only difference is that the roots won't have enough time to spread out and make you another big bulb for next season. I would plant them if the ground is workable, which is not too wet or frozen. If they are still firm and in good condition, take the opportunity to plant them. Throw them away if they are soft and shrunken.

You should have had them in during Autumn but its probably not to late, it will just take longer for them to get to flowering stage than others in your district as they need time to set root.
Dont worry about the cold, they are etremely hardy. Its a cultural requirement of theres to need a cold spell.
People who live in a warm region cannot grow such bulbs without refriderating them, like tulips, they will not put up with the heat.
You have no need to lift them once planted unless you want to break up the clumps of bulbs.

We already have some daffodils in flower. You should have planted them ages ago. But, last year i also planted some late and they still flowered. Do it now before the ground is frozen over. I love flowers go for it.:))

September/Autumn is the best time to plant these so they can be flowering in the spring.
The will grow every year after that.
In the Autumn, there are places like B&Q and Homebase that have big bags of bulbs.
They look great when flowering.

You are too late but you may get away with it if you plant now but do not expect a good show.

Oh dear you should have done this in the autumn.You will have to get yourself a nice spring planter from the garden centre to cheer yourself up for this spring and remember to plant them next autumn!

You should have planted them in November. If you plant now, they may grow without a flower, but try them anyway.
