Yes but as you garden the Word but will appear more often then not.
Daffodils and tulips can co-exist nicely in the garden. The but part comes with flowering time and color.
Both flowers come in a myriad of colors and can bloom at the same time or different times. This depends on how long you want the flowering season to last but both are cool weather plants and both only have a small window in the spring to flower.
The old tale about daffodils and tulips comes mostly from the fact that squirels, voles and other critters find tulips to be a great food source. That makes people think they cannot co-exist but the truth is they are being eaten.
Daffodils on the other hand are toxic to squirels and voles. That is why daffodils always seem to come up and the tulips don't.
There is not much you can do about the wildlife. So i suggest less tulips and more daffodils. When you see an area that has a lot of tulips someone has gone through a lot of trouble to prevent the above problems.
Good Luck
