This all-in-one mix is guaranteed to be unique, offering a fabulous, fun-filled array of sizes, shapes, and colors that will transform your garden into a mesmerizing mosaic. When planted in autumn before the first frost, these daffodil bulbs will reward you the following spring with a spirited burst of blooms that are perfect for creating lively garden displays and vibrant spring bouquets.
This mix features Narcissus varieties, commonly known as daffodils, that grow to varying heights between 10 and 24 inches, providing a dynamic and varied look to your garden. These daffodils have an upright, clumping habit and are known for their ability to naturalize easily, forming sprawling clumps of long, flat, strap-like leaves topped with showy blooms that return year after year. In ideal conditions, ample space, sunlight, water, and fertilizer, these daffodils can thrive for decades.
Kitchen Sink Mix daffodils are versatile and can be planted in groups or masses to create striking displays in mixed beds, front borders, or patio pots. They are particularly effective when planted in large sweeping drifts across open areas, under deciduous trees, or in smaller groupings in front of shrubs. These daffodils mix beautifully with ground covers and
other spring-blooming bulbs, adding layers of texture and color to your garden. Additionally, they can be forced indoors, bringing their cheerful blooms and vibrant colors into your home during the winter months.
Cold-hardy to USDA Zone 3, Narcissus Kitchen Sink Mix daffodils are incredibly easy to grow and maintain, making them a foolproof choice for gardeners of all levels. These daffodils perform best in sunny to partly shady locations with rich, fertile, well-draining soil that has a neutral to acidic pH. While they prefer areas with cool winters and warm, dry summers, they adapt well to most USDA Zones where there is a discernible winter.
When planting, space the bulbs about 8 inches apart and plant them 6 inches deep to ensure they have enough room to grow and multiply. Water the daffodils during their growth period, but be cautious not to overwater, as bulbs do not tolerate soggy conditions. To encourage robust flowering, feed the bulbs with a balanced fertilizer, like Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food, as soon as growth begins in the spring. After the flowers have bloomed, allow the foliage to die back naturally, this process is crucial for storing energy in the bulbs for the next season's growth. Once the leaves have fully faded, they can be cut back.
Relatively pest-free and deer-resistant, Kitchen Sink Mix daffodils are a low-maintenance, high-impact addition to any garden. Whether you're looking to create a vibrant, colorful display in your garden or enjoy their beauty indoors, this mix offers endless possibilities for a stunning and unique spring garden.
