Bulbs: best daffs for multiplying, 1 by DonnaMack

Now THAT is a really interesting question. I dig up my bulbs and put them in the garage. They get their cooling period over winter and come back really well. It seems to me that you would be doing the same thing, and that it would work.

I'd be very interested in what others have to say.

Oh, and it occurs to me, reading your original question, that you wanted really big white daffs. Thalia is relatively diminutive at 14-16 inches. Mount Hood is 15-17 inches. I was just looking through Brent and Becky' book "Daffodils for North American Gardens", and they note that the Division 1 Trumpet (like Mt. Hood) is the best long term garden trumpet, and that puppy is 18-20 inches.

BTW, Mt. Hood opens with a creamy yellow cup that "matures" to white. EOI opens with a creamy cup that "promptly turns white" (B&B quotes).

Here is MH during the color change.
