Plant your daffodils (narcissi ) up to 8 inches deep; while having no affect on their flowering ability it helps keeps them out of harms way during routine cultivation.

With some small bulbs it is difficult to tell which end is which. Do not worry mother nature has taken care of it, the plant's new shoot will always look for the direction of light (warmth). However if you keep to the broad slightly circular side of bulb as the bottom side, you are almost always right.
