Are daffodils poisonous to squirrels?
Yes, the bulbs, and to a lesser extent the leaves, contain the poison lycorine. Squirrels and other rodents typically will not eat bulbs, but may dig them up. There are only a few insects that can eat daffodils without being affected by the poison.
To start a daffodil patch, you should plant your bulbs during the fall. The bulbs need exposure to cold in order to begin sprouting at the end of winter and beginning of spring.
