split-corona daffodil

Split-Corona daffodils should be watered deeply but infrequently. When watering for the first time after planting, water until the soil is thoroughly saturated. After that, water regularly, about a gallon per mature daffodil plant every 7-10days when temperatures are above 40°F. When temperatures are over 85°F the ground should be hydrated more often, reducing the interval between watering to 5-7 days, and increasing the amount of water to 1.5 gallons per plant. However, be careful not to overwater the plants and when temperatures are below 40°F, reduce watering to once every 2 weeks.

Split-corona daffodils (Narcissus 'Lemon Beauty') should receive 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day during the growing season. During the spring and summer months, they should be planted in a location that will receive full sun (at least 6 hours of sunlight) and during the fall and winter months, they should be planted in a location that will receive bright, indirect sunlight. For optimal growth of the split-corona daffodil, it is important that the plant is exposed to as much sunlight as possible, as this will help to promote the development of strong stems, large blooms, and vibrant color.

Split-corona daffodils (Narcissus 'Lemon Beauty') should be pruned approximately 3 weeks after they finish flowering in the spring. This is when their leaves will start to yellow and wither. During this pruning, all stems and foliage should be cutdown to ground level. Pruning in the fall is also beneficial as it will reduce the risk of disease and insect infestation. The bulbs should also be lifted at this time and any diseased ones should be discarded. After pruning, apply a layer of compost or a slow-release fertilizer to the bed to ensure that the bulbs have nourishment and protection for the winter.
