When did you plant them? I've some I planted in a container in february and they are only just about to flower now. Not sure my later planted ones will at all.
We planted ours in a raised bed,on 11 March, for cutting, and there are lots of healthy leaves and can feel the flower spikes starting to thicken. Now watering regularly and hopefully all will be well soon.
Are you sure you planted the right bit, they grow one on top of the other, you plant the lower one next year.
I have never bought a sack of daffs that never bloomed, and I do buy cheapies! some say they are better in their second year.
If they didn't flower last year, and they don't this, then I would throw them away and get new next year.
I only keep the biggest corms from year to year.
Thanks for all the replies, I will give them a few more weeks before getting rid if they don't flower. If they do, I will let you all know. Regards Roy.
