Daffodils grow well in this area but a common mistake most folks make is mowing them down when done blooming.

If they are mowed, the bulbs do not receive the nutrients needed for blooms and plant growth in the coming season.

If you plant some, make sure to interplant with other green foliage that will hide the yellowing, flopping foliage of the daffodil.

They are a favorite of mine also. It is the first bright, cheerful bloom of spring...
