DAFFODIL FESTIVAL

The best time to plant tulips and daffodils on Nantucket Island, as well as in many other regions, is typically in the fall. Planting bulbs in the fall allows them to establish roots before the winter sets in, leading to stronger, healthier plants in the spring. Aim to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs in late September to early November, before the ground freezes. This timing gives the bulbs enough time to settle in and prepare for their spring growth.

Regarding Daffodil Weekend on Nantucket, it is a beloved annual event that typically takes place in late April. Daffodil Weekend is a celebration of spring and the blooming of thousands of daffodils across the island. The event features various activities, including a daffodil flower show, a daffodil-themed parade with vintage cars adorned with daffodils, art exhibitions, live music, and other festivities.

Visitors and locals alike participate in Daffodil Weekend by donning their best daffodil-inspired attire and joining in the celebrations. It's a vibrant and colorful event that showcases the natural beauty of Nantucket in the springtime. We provide Daffodils to the larger majority of businesses on island to decorate holiday containers and more. Pre-order your daffodils before we are sold out!
