Topic: Daffodils in cold climes

[Rosa_Mundi]

I have a friend who's moved to central Europe, and she's worried about her daffodils not surviving the hard winter. I wondered what do people do in places like Canada - do daffodils survive there without protection? If they do, I can tell her to stop worrying.
Thanks for any info  ;D

Daffs are very hardy, our native daffodil has grown wild in Britain for years. They will be fine ;)

I was told that the snow keeps the ground beneath it warm. It is when there is no snow that the frost penetrates the soil.

My allotment is near Zurich at 1600 feet and I've had my daffs for 30 years now, they have lived and spread without any problem.
And yes, snow keeps the ground protected from the real cold and protects winter veggies too.

Thank you all - I'll tell her to stop worrying!
