Short answer: the daffodil blooms in the spring.
Things that can affect bloom time:
- Daffodils cultivars can be early, mid or late season bloomers.
- Also the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone has to be considered.
- Another variable is the soil temp. Has it been a normal, long or short winter?
- Type of soil can also affect bloom time.
- Transplanting or late plantings can cause the blooms to be "late".
