Fall is the best time to fertilize daffodils. Root development takes place until the soil temperature fall below 40` and resumes in the spring. However, if you forgot to do it then or couldn’t recall their placement in the garden, this weekend is the last opportunity to fertilize daffodils. It’s been my experience that raking back the mulch and broadcasting a granular fertilizer , then replacing the mulch will boost the energy for producing foliage and flowers.
In the fall it is best to use a 5-10-12 or bone meal but now a 5-10-10 is best.
