How long do daffodil flowers last?

We have some daffodils that have started flowering and I was curious as to how long the flowers normally last. Will they die off in 2 days, or do they last longer?



Also, out of curiosity, does anyone know how long Hibiscus flowers are supposed to bloom for? I had a plant last year and the flowers tended to only last about 1 day and then started to wilt.



Thanks!

The standard yellow cup daffodil will usually stay in bloom for about 8-10 days.



I have a little gardening trick that I've come up with to make them last longer - or seem to.



When you plant the bulbs, you plant them in a cluster. Lets say you have about 30 bulbs. Dig your hole about 7 inches deep and say 14-16 inches in diameter, put about an inch of peat moss at the bottom and water the heck out of it. Let it drain. Then you place 1/2 of the bulbs at the bottom of the hole, spacing them about 3-4 inches apart. Cover them with about 2 inches of soil so that you can still see the tops. Now, take the other half of your bulbs and place them on top between the other bulbs. You cover them and wait for spring.....When they come up, the top layer of bulbs will bloom first, and the bottom layer will bloom about a week later, giving the appearance that the daffs are blooming for a longer time.



You can do this trick with almost any bulbs. I've done it for years and it requires no different maintenence than if you plant them in a single layer.



Hibiscus blooms usually only last for a day. After they bloom, you can cut the blossom down to the stem to encourage them to continuously flower. If they are in a pot instead of in the ground, I use rose food on my hibiscus regularly during bloom time because they do deplete the soil of nutrients rather quickly.



Good luck!
Reply:Daffodil flowers vary. If it's in the garden and the weather is cool, maybe a week. If you have them as a cut flower two to three days. You need to keep the water clean and if they are with other flowers the "sap" in the daffodils can clog the stems of the other flowers.



As for the Hibiscus, it depend on the variety, but it has been my experience that a day is average.
Reply:Daffodils last forever, up to two weeks. Once they started to get a tad brown I clipped mine and they lasted another week inside.



I love daffodils
Reply:Daffodils, if left uncut, should last for two to three weeks. I just read an article in the Farmer"s Almanac though that says if you put daffoldils in a bouquet with other flowers, all of the flowers will wilt and die faster. The article recommends having cut daffodils by themselves and not with others. My hisbiscus blooms last one day. However, if you consistently remove the wilted or dead bloom, the plant will just keep on producing. My hibiscus plant produced as many a six blooms a day per branch as long as I kept removing the wilted flowers.
Reply:The blooms on daffs may last anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks depending on if they get wet, experience freezing temps, and moisture content of the soil. Hibiscus and other very delicate flowered plants normally only have blooms that last a day or 2. The good thing is that when dead headed (removing of spent blooms) they will thicken up and produce lots of blooms all at once, so the plant should appear full and bright with flowers.
Reply:Daffodils last almost two weeks, if the weather is cooperating.



When they start to bloom, do keep an eye on the weather forecast. If heavy rain, or a freeze is due I'll cut older flowers and place them in a vase indoors since heavy rain and freezing will be the end of them.
Reply:they die in about 2 weeks and stop blooming in 4. i would cut a few and freeze them so they last longer
Reply:Daffodil bulbs will last almost forever under the right growing conditions. The blooming period is 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on climate and cultivar. After blooming, let the daffodil plant rebuild its bulb for the next year. The leaves stay green while this is happening. When the leaves begin to yellow, cut the leaves off (but not before they yellow).
