watering

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Brindabella') should be watered at least once a week during its growing season, which is from late winter to spring. During the warmer months, the soil should be kept moist but not soggy. To water the plant, thoroughly soak the soil until the water begins to drain out the bottom of the pot. A deep watering will help prevent the foliage from wilting. During the dormant period in the summer and fall, when the plant is not actively growing, reduce watering to once a month or so.

sunlight

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Brindabella') prefer bright, sunny locations with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Plant them in well-draining soil in areas that offer maximum exposure to the sun during early morning and midday. Avoid shady areas or those with late afternoon sun, as this will weaken the flowers and cause them to fade faster. Plant during the spring months when the sun is strongest to ensure healthy, vibrant flowers all season.

pruning

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Brindabella') should be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. Prune the foliage by cutting it back close to the ground to prevent seedpods from forming. Additionally, remove any dead, damaged or diseased stems and reduce the height of overly tall stems. Pruning can also help to encourage bushier growth in the plant. After pruning, the double daffodil will be ready to start developing its blooms for the season.
