Best Feed

What is the best feed to give spent daffodil bulbs in containers

 

I haven't got the foggiest about feed. . . . But don't forget to dead head the daffs after flowering, you want the plant to make better/bigger bulbs, not seed pods behind the flower. Cheers, Tony.

 

Hello JD
I will go with Klefti , I dead head the daffs and stick the container behind the shed until next spring. If I am feeling generous I may sprinkle a little blood fish and bonemeal on them . Daffs seem to flourish on their own - a great plant

 

A weekly feed until the leaves yellow , tomato food you cant go wrong , H I woudnt do blood fish and bone now as a good chance the daffs woudnt have time to take the feed in, its too slow acting at this time of year ......plus once the bulbs are dormant it will be washed out with the wet summer we will have :WINK1:

High potash to build up the bulbs for next year.
Although I usually plant second year bulbs into the garden of a bit of waste ground and buy new for the following season.

 

I've used a rose feed for mine in the past with good results.

 

I'm in the Tomato Food camp, but I also spray mine with Seaweed extract (Maxicrop or similar)
