Growing Guide

When to Grow

Popeye daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall, just before the first hard frost of the season. This allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter. The ideal temperature for optimal growth is 60-70 F. If you’re not sure how to find your area's first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Plant bulbs with the pointed end up, 6 inches deep in well-draining soil. Space bulbs about 3-6 inches apart to allow for natural spreading. Choose well-drained soil, amended with organic matter if necessary to improve drainage. Water well after planting to help establish roots​.

How to Grow

After planting, make sure the daffodils get regular water in the growing season but reduce watering once the blooms fade to avoid rot. Fertilize with a low-nitrogen fertilizer when leaves first emerge and again when they bloom. Leave the foliage to die back naturally to allow the bulbs to store energy for the next season​.

How to Save Seeds

These perennials will return and fill in year after year, making them a long-lasting choice for your garden. Over time, daffodil bulbs multiply and can be divided every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure better blooming.

FAQ

How long until Popeye daffodils bloom?

Can I grow Popeye daffodils in pots?

Yes, daffodils grow well in containers as long as they have enough sunlight and well-drained soil​.

Are Popeye daffodils deer-resistant?

Yes. Narcissus bulbs and foliage contain lycorine and related alkaloids, plus irritating calcium oxalate crystals, which make them unpalatable to deer and rodents.
