Naturalizing Daffodils. Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?
About the Wild Daffodils. Like wild tulips which are more the size of crocus, most of the wild daffodils are tiny too. They're generally small wildflowers that have been hybridized by the Dutch into the big tall beauties we know today.
Unlike tulips which are native to Central Asia, daffodils are European wildflowers, native to areas of France, Spain and Portugal.
Holland is not the ancestral home of any bulb flowers. But it's the home of almost all the hybrids, since the Dutch hybridizers have not only created thousands of new flowers gardeners love, they've developed a huge national industry that supplies bulbs to gardeners worldwide.
To a wildgardener, of course, the original un-hybridized species (and their close hybrids) are all interesting, and even better, they're all dependably perennial. Plant them once, and they're there forever. Unlike the hybrids which develop bigger and bigger clumps each year, and have to be divided every few seasons for good bloom, the wild species simply spread, like they do in the wild. So there is absolutely no maintenance for the wild bulbs, once you get them established.
Here are the major wild species:
Narcissus tazetta
Narcissus triandrus
Narcissus pseudonarcissus
Narcissis jonquilla
Narcissus poeticus recurvus
Narcissus clyclamineus

"This was our first Bulb Lawn experiment. So much succes! Plan to repeat this fall with more daffodil varieties."
"This performed as expected."
"These really brighten up your flower bed!"
"These are absolutely the best daffodils for a shady yard! They bloom earlier than most, so they get enough sun before all of the trees leaf out. Very cheerful little daffodils!"
"Great cut flowers that Last a long time, bright colors and smaller in size have made this a great fit for my woodland garden."
"I randomly interspersed these throughout my mini tete-a-tete daffodils, thinking the jetfire corona would be the only distinguishing feature and offer a pop of color that way. However, these are a good 3-4 in taller than the mini tete-a-tetes- which I am not complaining about, but I don't think these are a true "mini" then. The taller than expected size was not an issue for my garden and I appreciated the interest in size. I do wish some of my coronas were more vibrant, mine all bloomed a medium orange color, but that could always be due to soil composition. Still beautiful!"
"The bulbs arrive healthly and ready for planting. They provide year after year beauty, reliability and splendor. The mini's are my all time favorite daffodil flower."
"Really enjoy your bulbs"
"They did bloom - they just didn't last as long as I expected. Could have been because of the usually weather in my area in March."
"GREW LIKE A LIKE CRAZY. MULTIPLE BLOOMS. STANDS OUT AGAINST THE PLAIN YELLOW VARIETIES."
