Here is a summary of advice from bulb expert Brent Heath about daffodils, the best types for different regions.
1. NE US and Canada-plant 6 weeks before ground freezes, trumpet and poeticus types such as 'Artic Gold,' 'Bravoure,' 'Spellbinder.'
2. Mid-Atlantic-plant types for early, mid-season and late including N.
'Rijnveld's Early Sensation,' N. poeticus var. recurvus
3. Southeast- 'Geranium,' 'Sweetness,' 'Thalia,' 'Trevitithian'
in the Deep South- (zone 8 and 9) 'Carlton,' 'Gigantic Star,' and 'St. Keverne' among the best yellow cultivars
4. North Central US and Canada-trumpets, large-cups and small cups
5. PNW, NW Canada and Central Pacific-almost every type of daffodil should do well
6. Southwest-plant bulbs late, in December or January-jonquils and tazettas should do well
7. Gulf Coast region-purchase pre-cooled types or precool them for 6-8 weeks before planting.
