Daffodils in the Northeast

Daffodils from almost every division grow here(depending on your USDA zone). About the only ones that don't do well here are the less-hardy Tazettas and Bulbocodiums. If your autumn is dry, which has been the case in Western New York, water the bulbs after planting to get the roots growing. For extra protection, put down a layer of chopped leaves or evergreen boughs once the soil freezes. Then pull the mulch away from the plants in early spring.
