Daffodil April Queen

What’s old is new again. April Queen is in her 80s but doesn’t look her age. Pure white petals. A bright yellow cup rimmed with orange. This year, next year, every year. “Forever young,” as the song goes. Limited supply.
Deer and Rodent Proof

Including the month of flowering in the variety’s name no doubt made sense to the breeder, but the range of climates in which daffodils grow is much wider than one’s backyard. April Queen is a late bloomer, which means that in the northern reaches of the United States, it would make more sense to call it May Queen. And in Australia and New Zealand, where the seasons are opposite ours, October or November Queen would be a better name.

Bloom Time Mid
Bloom times are relative within the spring bulb season, which varies from place to place and year to year. They are intended to help you plan a sequence of bloom from Very Early season to Very Late season. About two weeks separate Early from Mid and Mid from Late. The start and duration of bloom is heavily dependent on the weather. Warm temperatures speed up growth and flowering; cold temperatures slow them down.

Planting Instructions

To get the most from daffodils, follow these 3 basic rules:

  1. Plant them where they will get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight, even after they have finished flowering and the trees have leafed out. Daffodils need lots of sun after they bloom to produce next year’s flowers.
  2. Plant them in soil that drains well. Avoid areas where water stands after a rain storm.
  3. After daffodils flower, wait at least 8 weeks — until the leaves turn yellow — before cutting them. Never tie or braid daffodil foliage. This year’s leaves = next year’s flowers.

If you want to naturalize daffodils (i.e., plant them so that they look as though they have sprung up on their own), we suggest that you set them out in drifts (not in blocks or lines) and that you space the bulbs farther apart than recommended on the bag label (to allow room for the clumps to increase in size). If you want to naturalize daffodils in a grassy area, you must wait to mow until their foliage has turned yellow, which means allowing the grass to grow very tall.

Moving and Dividing Daffodils

The ideal time to move or divide daffodils is when the foliage has collapsed and has turned mostly but not completely brown. For most daffodils, this time comes in late spring or early summer.
