Haney Plants: More Spring Bulbs

摘要

This continues the Spring blooming bulbs that provide pollen and/or nectar for bees we started last month. Daffodils, jonquils (Narcissus spp.) These plants are valuable pollen sources. Depending on the variety and location, they bloom from late January through May. Daffodils do well in a wide range of soils, but they prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Excellent for naturalizing, they're hardy in zones 4 through 9. Their height ranges from 1/2 to one foot. Some kinds may produce more than one flower per stem. These consist of a cup surrounded by a corolla with six segments. Although yellow is the most common color, daffodils may also be orange, pink, white, or multi-colored.
