I have been reading posts about planting daffodils and perennials together. I am confused about what I am reading. I planned on moving the bulbs out of a "holding pen" they were put into this fall when I found a huge deal on bulk bulbs. They did well in the temporary bed but now they need to be put in a permanent bed. My game plan was to put them in a bed and then plant perennials over the top of them.
What I am reading is that this is a bad idea. I am seeing info that says you plant perennials between the bulbs. It seems like the bulbs would just go around the perennials.
I am confused. Can you guys give me info about how you plant bulbs with perennials?
The beds that I am moving them to are full sun, very warm, the soil is clay but has been heavily amended and is now "fluffy" - lots of compost. These beds are empty now because a drought two years ago killed nearly everything - these beds are full sun from sun up to sun down. The perennials I am thinking about are salvias, cone flowers and other prairie type plants. They are the only things in those beds that survived the drought.
So, please give me your advice and how you mix daffodils and perennials.
Thanks,
Phyllis
