The yellow daffodil is also called the daffodil in this country, since its flowering time in spring usually overlaps with Easter. Basically, daffodils are relatively easy to care for, but you should give them some attention immediately after flowering.
Faded daffodils can be cut back
Care for the daffodils according to their needs
If the daffodils feel comfortable in a location, then the following characteristics of these plants ensure their survival and long-term spread:
- the perennial of hardy onions
- vegetative propagation below the surface of the earth
- dispersal via seeds
You can positively influence the energy balance of the daffodils if you cut off the flowers after they have bloomed. But leave the leaves standing until they turn yellow of their own accord and can be easily peeled off. In this way, the daffodils can store energy in the bulbs for the following year.
Position daffodils correctly
So that the slowly wilting leaves are not visually disturbing, you can plant the bulbs of the daffodils in the middle and rear area of a perennial bed. After they have faded, they are covered by other plants until they are pruned.
tips
Immediately after flowering, you can fertilize the daffodils in your garden with a phosphate-reduced complete fertilizer. In this way, these nutrients can be stored directly in the bulbs for flowering in the following year.
