It is possible to have a whole season of flowering daffodils indoors before spring. Both the major and minor bulbs are handled in much the same way, although the forcing period may vary slightly.
Catalogs usually identify forcing varieties.
Plastic pots have the advantage of not drying out as rapidly as clay pots. They are easier to clean and lighter in weight as well as less expensive. However, many prefer clay bulb pans or pots. Bulbs grow equally well in either. The pots should be scrubbed clean before use, and clay pots soaked for several hours to fill pores.
