New to Daffodils need help ~ ??

Hi - My neighbor dug up some of her overly crowded bunch & shared some with me ~ told me to dig up a hole & sink them ASAP. That was yesterday ~ the storm kept me & did them just now. Would they be OK ~ is there a way to tell? Could I have sank them in a pot first?

TIA!

They'll be fine - just leave the foliage to die back naturally since that replenishes the bulbs for next season.

I agree, especially if they got wet in the storm. If you put them all in one hole, do yourself a favor and go dig a bunch of tiny holes and spread them out some. They'll look so much prettier next year and multiply more quickly.

Thank you ~ I feel so much better now ~ all she told me was to dig a big enough hole & put them all in ~ I decided to make 2 holes & divided the bulbs in 2 bunches. I wish I thought of separating them in little holes ~ will remember for next time !

The leaves have actually already browned ~ the reason she dug them up to share. The name she wrote was *The Benson* Her Dad collected Daffodils & gave her different very fine cultivars & will share more when it comes time to be divided.

Looks like i'll need to learn more about this lovely bulbs ~ I've only 1 kind, she thinks they're *Romance*
