Planting and Growing Information

Plant Carlton daffodil bulbs in fall, approximately 6 inches deep and 4-6 inches apart in well-drained soil. They thrive in full sun to partial shade across USDA hardiness zones 3-8. Expect magnificent blooms in early to mid-spring, typically lasting 2-3 weeks. For best perennialization, allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering. These daffodils require minimal maintenance and will naturalize beautifully, especially in southern regions.
