Planting and Growing Information
Plant Altruist bulbs in fall, approximately 6-8 inches deep and 6 inches apart in moderately fertile, well-drained soil. This adaptable daffodil thrives in full sun to partial shade locations across USDA zones 3-8. Expect vibrant blooms in mid to late spring, typically lasting 2-3 weeks. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally to ensure energy storage for next season's display. Minimal maintenance makes this variety ideal for commercial landscape installations.
