October is Bulb Planting Time
If you choose to naturalize daffodils, throw a handful of bulbs on the ground and then plant where they land. Don’t plant in a geometric block. The aim is to make them look natural, with some planted more closely together, with others drifting away from the main group.
If you’re looking for plants to share garden space with your daffodils, you might consider daylilies for sunny areas and hostas for shade. Both plants work well with daffodils, having pretty much the same cultural requirements. And marigolds are perfect for summer color, and have the added bonus of repelling soil nematodes.
However you choose to plant daffodils, you can be assured of a bright beginning to spring.
