Are daffodils maintenance free. going to plant on a deeply sloping hill.?

Daffodils are easy to grow and require little maintenance. They come in many different shapes and colors, and can bloom for 4 Months a Year. The scientific name of the Daffodil derives from the Greek god Narcissus, who looked into a pool, saw his reflection and fell in love with himself.



You may also like: Daylilies which are truly low-maintenance perennials. They are almost entirely free of disease and insect pests, they do need infrequent division, grow in full sun to partial shade, grow in diverse soil types and are drought tolerant. Daylilies have a long season of bloom, from late May to hard frost. Combining Daylily varieties with varying bloom periods can supplement your perennial border all summer.

Are daffodils maintenance free. going to plant on a deeply sloping hill.?
Daffodils are pretty maintenance free. I've seen people do hardly anything to them and they grow and bloom well the next year. Another perennial, that is more like a groundcover (in the sense that it grows "thick")? Daylilies. You can get any kind but the old run of the mill single or double orange ones (that are naturalized now in the wild) are just as nice for groundcover purposes. And I've seen these growing on a steep hill. If somebody wants to give you a bunch of these old reliables, take them. Divide them up though so you can get as much coverage as possible. I usually divide daylilies up in very late summer or the autumn. It's okay at that time to clip the leaves in a fan shape for ease of planting (much like you would clip iris leaves when dividing the plants). It's actually kind of fun to do this with daylilies, especially when you can get them for free! Be sure you water them after planting. Once they've been established, daylilies are pretty maintenance free during the summer. And also when once established, DON'T mow down the leaves just because flowering stops. Wait to do anything like that until the fall. And in the case of your hillside, you might just want to leave the leave the daylilies as is during the winter, after they fade, and cut off the old leaves in the spring, before the new sprouts come up.
Reply:yes they are a great flower and where you are planting them is going to be a good spot, enjoy them.
Reply:yes, they are low maintenance, perfect for a hill and will multiply every year!
Reply:pretty much so - although you can separate then every couple years and make more.
Reply:Yes, to your question and I agree with everything Excel had to say! Get hybrid daylilies however to add the continual bloom after the daffodils go by, they have thousands of varieties.
Reply:Good choice of flower! When planting the bulbs make sure you put a little bone meal mixed into the soil under the bulbs. Just don't let the bone meal touch the bulb.
Reply:yes they are great. Let me give you the supplier I use who offers top quality bulbs at great prices. I have used them in 4 different gardens. (we move alot and planted at my mom's house).

Reply:Yes, and they are lovely on a hill. They will "naturalize" in time and spread all over.
