Dear all,
Two quick questions:
1. If I want to plant daffodils (or any other bulbs) and perennials (shrubs) in a flower bed, how do I best go about it? Should I squeeze the daffodil bulbs down in between the dormant shrubs? Or should I plant the bulbs as deep as necessary and then plant the perennials on top of the bulbs and leave the rest to nature? Will daffodils make their way to the surface and bore through perennials?
2. Who has done the fine line drawings of daffodils in the Journal? They are really quite something. Congratulations!
Thanks,
Niels

If I can add to what Kathy stated, when daffodils are planted with perennials you don’t want to pant the perennials on top of the bulbs, however, some perennials are very agressive and will spread out and over the daffodil bulbs as daffodils are not as agressive. I planted some of my Div 9 bulbs in a top-soil raised bed for perennials as the Div 9 don’t grow well in my normal “sand” based soil in Coastal North Carolina. After a couple of years, the Div 9 daffodils that started alongside the perennials were in the middle of the perennial “bunch.”
And, Rebecca Browns drawing are very-very nice.
