I know this is not for the AV forum

I know that this is not for the AV forum but I feel like I can ask you all anything and I need some help. I bought some daffodils the other day. They are my favorite outside flower and every year I say that I am going to plant some but never do. Well I could not resist. I got 6 little pots with about 4 or 5 in each pot. I would love to plant them in containers but I do not know what size containers to plant them in. I have all types of containers, from a square 8x8x8 to all kinds of round ones to the long skinny ones. I just need to know how many I can plant in each container. If I plant them in containers, I can make sure that they do not frost, since our last frost date is not until April 29, and I can take them with me if I ever move. So, how should I plant them? Any ideas?

Jesse - I'm pretty sure that in your area the daffies are already up. I would think you are ok. You can put them as close as you want. I prefer Daffies in groups. If you decide to move, just dig them up. They grow from a bulb.

They are beautiful Jesse. Don't you kleep them in the ground year round and they do fine in frost and come up each Spring. Every coupld years you can divide the bulbs . They do look nice grown in groups !

Jesse,
My daffodils were already up when we had some ice and they were fine. Go ahead and put them in the ground so they can do their multiplying thing. Almost all of mine came from my parents yard - they get so thick that Dad has to thin them out every few years. We have all of ours in full sun.

Yep, I agree! Pop those babies into the ground... keep them in the clumps they came in, rather than separating them. They'll multiply, and you'll be able to dig them when you move as long as you remember where they are, LOL. If a clump get really large and stops blooming well, it needs to be divided. I've dug daffs when they still had foliage on them in order to move or divide them, and they were fine, but they don't always bloom the following year if you dig them when they're actively growing (but the year after they're better than ever). They'd like a little bone meal or bulb fertilizer sprinkled around after you plant them too.

Beautiful flowers!
