I received confirmation of the health of the bulbs within three days of planting them; when wretched red squirrels dug them up and ate them.

With Wayside's bulbs, growing gorgeous flowers is as easy as Dig, Drop, Done.
Dig:
The first thing you want to do is pick your spot and dig the hole for your bulbs. Avoid places with standing water, as this could cause bulb rot. A good rule of thumb when planting is to dig down 3 times the height of the bulb, but you should follow the specific instructions for your bulb. Make sure to space out your bulbs to give your plants the right amount of room to grow later.
Drop:
Now put your bulbs in the ground, pointy side up. For fall planting, be sure to get the bulbs in before the first frost. For spring planting, the time varies by plant. Afterwards, cover the bulbs with soil and then water them in. This helps wake the bulbs up from dormancy and get them growing again.
Now you're Done!
Just sit back and wait, and in the spring your bulbs will sprout up and reward you with their beautiful blooms throughout the season. Growing flowers from Wayside bulbs really is that easy!

No plant is easy the first time you garden with it. So here are some quick tips to make you look like a pro, even if you've never laid eyes on a daffodil bulb before in your life!
Daffodil bulbs often have two big shoots coming out of one base, as if two bulbs were stuck together. Don't separate them; just plant the whole thing. It will multiply even faster!
Plant
daffodil bulbs with the wide base facing downwards, the pointy top facing up.
Plant the bulbs at a depth of least 3 times their height. In warmer climates, even deeper is recommended.
Do not add any "bulb food" or other enrichment at planting time.
After planting,
daffodils need no special treatment. Water, mulch, or leave the soil alone, just as you normally would.
In spring, after the daffodils have bloomed, do not cut away the leaves. This is critical. Let them die all the way back; the plant is gathering nutrition for next year's growth during this period. If you want to hide the unattractive brown shoots, plant your
daffodils among daylilies, which do a good job covering up the leaves with their fresh green foliage.
