how many blooms

I am looking to plant some daffodil bulbs this fall and wanted to know what to expect from a single bulb. Should I count on only one bloom per bulb or can they produce more? I am looking to put grape hyacinth in front so I am trying to come up with the right ratio when purchasing the bulbs

It depends entirely on the type of daffodil (narcissus) you plant. Most will produce a single bloom per bulb nose (an individual bulb can have multiple noses) but there are some varieties that will produce a cluster of flowers per nose, like the tazetta grouping.
