Q&A – How do daffodils get scattered naturally?
Question:
I have some daffodils growing all over a hill by an old house. How do daffodils get scattered naturally? Are the bulbs dug up and moved by animals?
Answer:
Daffodils will grow in clumps through bulb division, but they also make seed which can wash to a different area. Also, some bulbs may be unintentionally moved by cultivation.
