• Daffodil Depot

  Do you do dig daffodils? We do, and we think you should, too. Daffodils are beautiful, deer- and rodent-proof, and perennial. Plant them in a sunny, well-drained location and they will brighten the garden and landscape for many springs to come. While having a few bulbs is nice, there is nothing like seeing a mass of daffodils in a garden bed or at the edge of woods.
