Daffodils can be propagated by dividing the bulbs, growing them from seed, or by cutting and planting offsets or stem bulblets

Dividing the bulbs 

  1. In the fall, after the leaves have turned yellow, use a garden fork to carefully dig up the clump.
  2. Shake off the dirt and let the bulbs dry in a shady spot for a couple of days.
  3. Separate the bulbs by hand, discarding any that are damaged or soft.
  4. Replant the bulbs immediately, or store them until fall.
  5. Plant the bulbs 2–3 times their diameter deep, and 10–12 inches apart.

Growing from seed 

  1. Leave a few seedheads to develop after flowering.
  2. Sow the seeds when they are ripe.
  3. It will take a few years for the daffodils to flower.

Cutting and planting offsets or stem bulblets 

  1. Cut off offsets or stem bulblets from the parent bulb.
  2. Plant them in moist, slightly acidic soil in the fall.
  3. The bulbs should produce flowers within a few years.

You can also propagate daffodils by scoring the bulb to stimulate the production of new bulblets.
