I see Avalanche being offered here for spring planting, flowering in 8 weeks, Erlicheer is another, they call them summer flowering. Latest developments in horticulture, but I imagine the bulb will revert to the proper time if it lives.

Debin you should be able to grow daffs in your zone to return, they are mostly quite hardy and should be planted deep. Try some of the varieties that have been around for years and proven, some of the newer ones may not do so well, I think a lot are subject to disease. Ice follies always looks good, and lasts well.

N. triandrus Thalia increases well for me, Jetfire is also doing well.

My blue Hyacinth is opening as skinny as it is, the Pink Queen is getting there and also making a lot more offsets, I took some small offsets off and planted them in a pot to grow on, and they made more! This is going to be a prolific Hyacinth!
