watering
The Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Elizabeth Ann') is a drought tolerant variety and only need to be watered lightly every week or 2. During the summer months when the plant is actively growing, water more frequently. When you water, it is best to give the plant a deep watering once every week or 2 rather than small amounts more frequently. In drier climates, providing fertilizer every 6-8 weeks is a good way to ensure the plant is getting enough nutrients. Keep the soil uniformly moist, but not soggy. Reduce water during the dormant stage in winter, to a deep watering about once a month or less.
sunlight
Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Elizabeth Ann') requires full sun to partial shade, with the most optimal light being 4-6 hours of full sun each day. However, these plants also do very well in partially-shaded locations. Prolonged spells of intense sunlight should be avoided. As with many perennial plants, some afternoon shade will help protect the plants from the heat of direct sun.
pruning
Pruning Cyclamineus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Elizabeth Ann') is necessary to ensure the flowers will last year after year. Pruning should be done after the foliage has started to yellow and die back. Cut off the old foliage at the base of the stem, making sure to get rid of any old leaves near the bulb. Doing this will also promote better air circulation and the growth of new foliage. After the first growing season, carefully dig around the daffodil and remove any offsets or flower stems that have produced new bulbs. Replant these in a new area if desired. Doing this will help prevent overcrowding in the future.
