Daffodils bring needed hope for winters end as spring begins!

Are you starting to see these little green beauties popping up in your garden yet?

Photos taken today, are of two different varieties planted only 12 inches apart—one early and one mid-spring—bloomer which is a great example of how you can extend the season. Here in Rockport, Maine, Narcissus, commonly known as daffodils, are among the first bulbs to emerge. They are reliable perennials that increase in number each year, proving hardy enough to withstand both cold and heat while adapting well to various garden settings. While they thrive in the sun, the blooms actually last longer in partial shade. Best of all for Maine gardeners, deer and moles tend to leave them alone.

If you bring them inside, they can last up to a week in a vase if you change the water every other day and keep them out of direct sunlight. In the garden, uncut daffodils can last from one to three weeks, depending on the temperature and variety.

It is certainly difficult to resist bringing them indoors for a bright, cheerful display.
