watering
Tazetta daffodils (Narcissus 'Geranium') should be watered on a regular basis. During the summer months, aim to water them once or twice a week. Make sure that the soil is moist but not soaked. In the winter months, reduce the frequency of watering to once every 2 to 3 weeks, ensuring the soil still remains slightly moist. If your daffodils are in containers, water them regularly and evenly to prevent them drying out. Be careful not to water them too often, as their roots can be easily saturated due to their shallow root system. Be sure to avoid waterlogged soil, which can cause the bulbs to rot.
sunlight
Tazetta Daffodils (Narcissus 'Geranium') prefer full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, and thrive best in temperatures between 55-65°F when in bloom. They can tolerate some partial shade, especially if temperatures are cooler, but generally, the more sun the blooms receive, the longer and more abundant they will be. In areas with mild winters, the bulbs should be planted in a spot that gets at least part-day sun for optimal growth and performance. In hotter, sunnier areas, planting in areas where they receive afternoon shade is recommended.
pruning
Tazetta daffodil (Narcissus 'Geranium') should generally be pruned after the flowers have faded and the foliage has begun to yellow. Pruning should only involve removing the flowers or their stalks and any yellowed foliage from each of the individual stems. Prune back to the nearest healthy leaf or stem node and be careful not to damage the healthy foliage. Once the full stem is no longer producing flowers, it should be trimmed back to about 4 to 6 inches above the ground. This will help the plant focus its energy on building new growth and increases the chances of flowering the following year.
