Growing Guide

When to Grow

Von Sion bulbs should be planted in the fall, just before the first hard frost of the season. This allows the bulbs to establish roots before winter. The variety blooms in early to mid-spring, making it a delightful addition to spring gardens. If you’re not sure how to find your area's first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Plant the bulbs with the pointed end up, 6 inches deep, and 3-6 inches apart. Check local frost dates to determine the most appropriate planting time. Choose a location with good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Water the bulbs after planting to help them settle into the soil.

How to Grow

Once planted, Von Sion daffodils require minimal care. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid overwatering. After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally to nourish the bulbs for the next year. These daffodils are known to naturalize well, making them an excellent choice for long-term plantings.

How to Save Seeds

These perennials will return and fill in year after year, making them a long-lasting choice for your garden. Over time, daffodil bulbs multiply and can be dug up and divided every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure better blooming.
