The Washington Post Spring bulbs are relatively foolproof, none more so than daffodils. They are easy to obtain and to plant and as certain as weeds to come up next spring. And then they will return, spring after spring.
Some gardeners try many cultivars.
Others fall in love with a single-colored golden yellow or a daffodil with immaculate white petals and a pale yellow cup, and they never want to change. Look at the bulb bins in garden centers or consult catalogs and choose what appeals to you. All daffodils offer perfection of design. It also resists bugs and diseases. Once bulbs arrive, either from a garden center or through the mail, they should be planted.
