They will become a thick clump in a few years. Plant daffodils about six inches deep, and space the bulbs five inches or more apart from each other. Occasionally we come across a question that we find particularly interesting or intriguing.

The numbers on the bag tell you the percentage of each element. My coneflowers emerge with little purple leaves and shoots, but quickly turn green as sunlight gets their photosynthesis factories going.
