One caution on extensive undeplanting with daffodils in a perennail bed:
daffodils do not flourish in the summer with lots of wter--they will tend to
rot instead, since they are largely dormant in the hot summer months. If you
plan to water these beds a lot during the summer, rethink using daffodils. I
do plant daffodils between daylilies extensively, but daylilies are so hearty
they survive without any moisture other than rainfall. That's the ideal for a
daffodil planting. One gardener I know of planted a rose border around a
daffodil bed. The watering of the roses wiped out all the daffodils in two
years.
