Daffodils need to be planted for 2-3 years before they can bloom. The plants are cultivated in autumn from September to October. The leaves will turn yellow in May of the following year, and the bulbs will go dormant in June. However, the plants will continue to carry out physiological activities during the dormant period, and the large bulbs will bloom in winter.
