and her inquiry is:

Hello,
I read somewhere that daffodils always face north.  I started going through some of my daffodils photos and have noticed that many of them are facing north but is this just a coincidence or is this a true fact of daffodils and why?  I thought the most reliable answer would come from the Daffodil society of America.  But then other information say they point south.  Just curious, thought it was an interesting little factoid about this beautiful bulb.

 Thanks for your thoughts on this topic.  I live in Colorado, Zone 5.

Many thanks for your support and feedback.

Gratefully,

  1. Jaydee,

    That’s a . . .  My daffodils have proven that they point anyway they want.  Mostly they follow the sun.

    I planted my beds so that the labels are facing the north to avoid the Sun causing them to fade so much.

    Guess, what.  The daffodils mostly face the south and west away from my labels making it hard for me the assess the quality of the daffodils when I’m on the side of the labels.  I get to see a lot of the backs and if the backs are good then I look at the front.

    North???  Not so much.
