Well in my garden most of my early blooming daffs are already on their way out. I have other varieties that are just now forming buds. I couldn't tell you what most of my varieties are though.

Blooming right along with those early varieties right now are my blue Hyacinths as well as 'Georgia Blue' Veronica. The Veronica in particular is about as true blue as you can get and does not have those purple leanings that many "blue" flowers do. My blue hyacinths won't last too much longer so if you have a later blooming variety of daffodil the Veronica might be a better choice since it looks like they will still be blooming strong much longer than the Hyacinths.

The larger varieties of Muscari go well with Daffodils and bloom at the same time.

Here is a link that might be useful: Muscari varieties

i like these.

ipheion uniflorum, or star flower, starts to bloom in feb. and continues through march/april. they will die back as summer heat arrives.
an easy annual plant to find are violas. this photo has some blue and yellow "johnny jump-ups" that would combine well with the yellow daffs and they bloom from fall through april. you can also see another clump of star flower in the background.

not sure when forget-me-nots flower but that is another blue to consider.

How about Virgina bluebells (Mertensia virginica)? Mine are blooming right now. They also go dormant in summer.

Trigger, I've never tried transplanting daffodils out of pots and into the ground, so I'll give you an idea for next year.

Plant some daff bulbs in November with some Siberian Squill -- the scylla is a little piece of sky blue -- spectacular. If you get some small daffodils or jonquils, their heights will be similar.

I like woodland phlox - phlox divaricata. It is the most brilliant true blue. You would need later blooming daffodils though. My phlox is just starting to bloom, but my King Alfred daffodils (early bloomers) have just finished. So phlox wouldn't work with early bloomers. However, I mostly have it as a companion to celadine poppies (stylophorum), so you might be able to get triple duty by planting late-blooming daffodils and stylophorum with the phlox.
Someone might have phlox divaricata locally, but I've always had to order it from Niche or from Sunlight Gardens.

Lowes has Blue Moon phlox d. this year at $4.48 for a gallon size.

Well, I just use pansies. About the time the daffodils are blooming, the pansies are catching their second wind and it all looks great. In the fall, I just plant the pansies above where the daffodils bulbs reside and the daffodils come up through them.

I use pansies too. And violas...I love those. But Georgia Blue veronica is so spectacular that everyone should have at least one patch. I have it in several places and do nothing to it except shear after blooming.

Great advice,

I believe the Grape Hyacinths were exactly what I was looking for thanks.

So which type of pure yellow daffodil would bloom together with the hyacinth?

I have to say that I am particularly fond of the Georgia Blue Veronica I have growing around some of my daffs. The thing I prefer about the Veronica is that it is evergreen so I have the nice green foliage all year.

Interesting about the Georgia Blue Veronica.

I didn't realize that they were evergreen. That makes them a good possibility now.

Yes, Georgia Blue is wonderful. Regarding the Ipheion Jeff mentioned, also wonderful, the variety 'Rolf Fiedler' is a stronger, almost periwinkle blue. It's blooming right now and is gorgeous. They're a low bulb so can be planted to come up below and around others.

Is Ipheion native to these parts?? It looks just like something blooming wild on my property right now that I had never noticed before. There's only one tiny clump though and I don't see it anywhere else.

If I'm not mistaken Georgia Blue Veronica is a Georgia Gold Medal plant. All the more reason to look into it.

Yes it is, that is how I first became aware of it. Mine is still blooming gangbusters.

Well I went ahead and purchased the Georgia Blue Veronica's. I bought 12 1-gallon pots.

Hopefully the daffodils and the begonias will look just as pretty.

Just FYI our Lowe's in Anniston is starting to mark their 1 gallon Georgia Blue Veronicas down to 1/2 price (at least the ones that aren't blooming anymore) so maybe other stores will soon too.

pete-
the ipheion is not native to the u.s.
i have been growing it for many years and the only time it has moved is when i divided the clumps and transplanted.
i recently went to tuskegee, al, and saw a few lawns full of it down there. these were old plantation-style homes so it may spread about over a long period of time but i have not noticed it on our invasive species lists.
in fact, i don't know whether it was intentionlly planted in those lawns there or has naturalized.
the flowers are fragrant but the bruised foliage smells like onions.
just lettin' ya know.

Hi Jeff -- thanks for the ipheion information. From your description that probably isn't what I'm seeing. I did finally notice my little mystery flower growing in several other locations around here so I guess this plant spreads easily by seed.
