I hope most will survive and come up next spring. So long as they weren't totally dried out, they should survive. Last week, I planted them in the yard. hmmm...Some may even come up this year. If they do, you will need to not mow the foliage off until it has yellowed a good bit. Planting daffodil bulbs in a yard, that get's mowed once the grass starts getting tall, is not a good place to plant them. Some spring blooming bulbs do fine in a yard/lawn that gets mowed, but daffodils don't. Sue

I always plant my left over and misplaced bulbs this time of the year. Just planted 200 Crocus amd some Iris retics this AM. Most will produce foliage this year, but few blooms. I usually top dress them with a small amount of balanced slow release(4 months) fertilizer, such as 15-15-15 and then an application of 6-12-12 in the Fall. They should bloom normally next Spring. My Spring(2005) planted bulbs are blooming now, along with their long established counterparts. I still have a lot more to to plant, but have to wait on the batteries for my drill to recharge(that's my excuse for taking a break!). Good luck! Rb

Hi Allium, Thanks for replying. I hope you have garden-fiend friends who will love some of your excess. And I'm guessing that you weren't in the house at bloom time? Sib's thick root mass will force a daff bulb underneath to grow out sideways to reach sunlight. I really doubt it would be able to go thru Sib's root mass except at the edges. There are a couple of clumps of daffs whose aging foliage sticks out like a sore thumb. Ever so loosely I braid it, about a month after bloom when it's beginning to soften, gently arc in half and tie at the base with a long soft leaf. Sort of cute to look at after that. And it can be cut when 1/3 has yellowed.

It'll have to be next spring. Here in MinneSNOWta the temp today didn't make out of the minus column. I definitely do not have any outside ground that isn't frozen solid. I may stick a few in a flower pot or two for the back of the fridge or out on the front porch just to see how they do. On the up side everybody up here can walk on water for about four months of the year. :)
