New Yorkers for Parks - Have you planted your daffodil bulbs?

 

It was inspiring to see our community come together once again this fall to blanket the city’s green spaces with vibrant daffodils.

Each year, NY4P distributes bulbs as a living memorial and a symbol of New Yorkers' resilience. This year, our Daffodil Project expanded to include native wildflower seeds curated by the NYC Parks Plant Ecology Center and Nursery (PECAN), to support the city’s native pollinators. We gave out 400,000 bulbs and enough seeds to cover a football field - a mission made possible by the dedication of donors and volunteers like you.

Thanks to everyone who participated in meaningful effort. Stay tuned as we prepare to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Daffodil Project in 2026!

Donate We’d love to see your daffodils! Please share photos from your planting events or of where you planted them this year, and again when they bloom. You can tag us on social media or send your photos to ny4p@ny4p.org. Daffodil FAQ When should I plant the bulbs and seeds? Before the ground freezes - so this weekend is a great time! How do I plant my bulbs? Plant the bulb with its top (the pointy end) about two to three times as deep as the bulb is tall. For example, place a 2-inch bulb roughly 4 inches deep, and a 3-inch bulb about 5 to 6 inches deep. (more) How do I plant my seeds? You can plant them 1/4 inch into the ground alongside the bulbs; they will bloom in 1-2 years! How do I sign up for bulbs next year?
