Basjoos and daffodils will come up about the same time.
Usually daffodils first and basjoos 30 days+- later.
It depends how your plants are sited in your yard.

Basjoos when first coming through the middle of the old P-stem will tolerate repeated frost so your good there.

My plants are under 5 inches of mulch/leaves and will push right through it when they are ready which is 30 days out

Now is the time to fertilize the plants in the ground with your choice of granular garden fertilizer.

I can't wait for my stuff to start growing too

Don't forget.....try to make it to Brians Botanicals this summer, you won't be disappointed.
