I live in the North East and came across such pretty yellow daffodils in a nursery. I was thinking of placing them in a decorative bucket but not sure if they need to be placed in the ground or the bucket is fine. Any suggestions from you farmgirls would be appreciated. thx.

Joan I have never put daffodils in a pot but last fall I put 25 yellow tulips in a container and they are in full bloom in my front yard. When they are through blooming I will take them up and re-pot next fall. Will see how many come back next spring.
I live in northeast Texas and the tulip bulbs survived several nights and days of single digit temperatures. I wintered them over on the south side of my house and covered them with leaves. When they started to emerge in March I moved them to the front yard circle flower bed.

Joan, you can put daffodils in a decorative bucket and once they are done blooming, transplant them in the ground. I have a friend who gave me a bunch of daffodils over the past few years from her yard that I planted in the late spring after they were done blooming at her house & they've done just fine each year after that.
Have fun and enjoy your beautiful spring bloomers!
