Planting & Care

Plant Baby Boomer Daffodil bulbs from March to May in a position with full sun to semi-shade. Daffodils generally flower best with good light, although they can tolerate some shade, especially in warmer regions.

Choose free-draining soil. Daffodils dislike sitting in wet, heavy soil, so improve drainage before planting if needed. In pots, use a quality free-draining potting mix and make sure containers have good drainage holes.

Plant bulbs approximately 15cm deep and 15cm apart, with the pointed end facing upward. Planting in groups or drifts gives the strongest visual display.

Water after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist during active growth. Avoid waterlogging. Once flowering has finished and foliage begins to die back, reduce watering as the bulbs move towards dormancy.

Fertilise at planting with blood and bone or a suitable bulb fertiliser. Feeding during the growing season can help support stronger bulbs and better flowering in future years.

After flowering, remove spent flowers but allow the leaves to yellow and die back naturally. Do not cut the foliage off too early, as the leaves help the bulb store energy for the following season.

Baby Boomer is best suited to cooler and temperate climates. In warmer regions, deep planting, mulching and some summer shade can help protect bulbs from heat stress. Performance may be less reliable in subtropical conditions.

Flowering Time

Flowering: August to September, depending on climate and planting time.

Flowering can vary slightly between regions and seasons.
