How to Cut and Condition Daffodils for the Longest Vase Life
video description
I purchased from a box store.
So far only my Tulips are peeking through the ground now. I'm hoping for the Daffodils to start showing soon. I attempted to plant as closely around Mother's day to bloom. It's my first season growing lots of flowers.
I'm learning the climate and where everything likes to be situated in the garden presently.
Just had a last cold event at 39 degrees. always one right before Easter.

The yellow daffodil at about 1: 48 is one I inherited 36 years ago when we built our home where we've heard farm hands lived on the land. There were very few blooming but we dug them up and spread them around the yard in just about every garden. However, I've never been able to conclusively identify them. Do you know what their name is by any chance? I was so surprised to see you show them but feel if anyone knows about them you would. Thanks.

Thank you so much for always creating great videos! I'm learning a lot from you as a first year flower farmer!
Can I ask one question?
I notce that your beautiful arrangement has some short stemed daffodils. Do you cut them short before conditioning them? I read somewhere that I should avoid recutting them after conditioning, but it's so hard for me to know what length I will want.

Great information. Even though my daffodils are long gone in zone 9b I will definitely save this information for next year. I love your videos and you have inspired me to try new things. I-ve already ordered tulips, hyacinth, paperwhites and fancy daffodils to plant next fall. Thanks for sharing this information.

Thank you for this. What I don't understand is why to condition cut flowers (not daffs) if they are going straight into a vase. If the cut flowers were going into a bouquet; I understand conditioning but why to condition if cut flowers are going to be put straight into a vase? Thank you,

Thanks for the vase life tips! I love all daffodils and have many in my yard. I love Fortissimo. The blooms are absolutely HUGE! Yellow outer petals and dark orange trumpet. Fortissimo means bold or loud in Italian. I purchased them from Dutch Gardens. Brecks has them too!

I love so many of the daffodil varieties, hard to pick one! Last year I was a fan of White Lion. I planted a few new varieties this past fall, so I think my favorite might change. Replete is on my wish list to order this year. I keep seeing it and every time it shines!

I have always loved Ice Follies though the daffodils of my childhood were King Alfreds. My current favorite is a ruffled peach and white called Deshaugh, if I spelled it correctly. I grew it for the first time this year. I love it.

Hi Danielle! What a lovely spring video! How many days do you get from your daffodils in the vase when they-ve been thru this process and did you add flower food? Also, do you ever use the chlorine pills or chlorox in your water?

So you happen to know if you need to condition the daffodils first if you're planning on storing them dry in the fridge for a few days? or can you just do the conditioning when rehydrating them?

This was a delightful and informative video. Wow-that arrangement at 4: 12 took my breath away! Forsythia is blooming in my area now and this one grabbed my attention. Thank you!

If, after conditioning, you find you need to trim the stems to work with other flowers in the vase? Do you need to reconditioned them?
