If you are not too much of a gardener but would like to brighten up your garden then you will find that daffodils are very easy to grow and planting them is nice and simple.

Where To Plant Bulbs
Daffodils grow best in a sunny area which will have sunlight for most of the day. At a minimum they need six hours of direct sun. In too much shade, they may fail to actually flower.
Daffodils grow well in many different types of soil, but they need an area that is well drained, meaning a location where excess rain water does not collect. Avoid low spots and places that tend to be extra muddy.

How To Plant The Bulbs
Plant the bulbs about six inches apart. Dig the hole three to four times deeper than the bulb is tall or about eight inches deep.
Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole to encourage the bulbs to root themselves. Set the bulb firmly in the bottom of the hole; give it a gentle twist so it sits securely upright. Be sure to place the bulb pointy end up. Fill the hole with soil again and wait for your bulb to grow.
