From there, you actually dont have too much to worry about in terms of your daffodils spreading. Asexual reproduction only requires - and only allows for - one parent. In asexual reproduction, part of the parent plant is used to generate a new plant. If you want to boost the way in which they multiply by asexual reproduction, for example, you should get ready to take cuttings as the bulbs start to divide and planting them as needed.
