Nancy -

Thanks for the advice! It has been a cold wet spring here also. My daffodils bloomed 3-4 weeks later than normal.

To answer your questions, they are in semi-shade, receiving sun for about 3 hours 11-2 PM and another hour at about 6 PM. I don't think it's a nutrient problem. They are planted with daffodils, so when and if I fertilize, I use something like 6-24-24 and occasionally throw fireplace ashes down on the beds.

Patience may be the answer.

you could be over doing the nitrogen in your soil and or perhaps
be a bit low in potassium or other nutrients.
Are they planted in a shady or sunny location-this will influence
blooming and dates.>>
