tazetta daffodil

Tazetta Daffodil (Narcissus 'Minnow') should be watered regularly to stay healthy and to promote blooms. In general, the plant should be watered once every 5-7 days, when the soil is dry enough for you to feel moisture. In hot weather, the plant should be watered more frequently – about every 2 to 3 days. Stick your finger about 1 inch down into the soil to check the moisture level. In cooler temperatures, the plant can go longer between waterings. Additionally, the plant should be watered more heavily during July and August than during the rest of the year. Always water the plant from the base, rather than overhead watering, as this can create fungal problems.

The Narcissus 'Minnow' (Tazetta Daffodil) typically prefers full sun for at least 6 hours a day. It should be protected from hot, afternoon sunlight during its blooming period, which is typically from mid-winter to late spring in many climates. The foliage should be in full sunlight most of the day, with partial shade in the late afternoon or evening as temperatures begin to cool. This will help ensure the foliage continues to absorb as much light as possible for the plant to store for blooming the following year.

When it comes to pruning Tazetta Daffodils (Narcissus 'Minnow'), it is recommended that you prune as needed after flowering has finished. As a general rule of thumb, it is best to remove any wilting or yellowing foliage, deadhead spent blooms, and remove any diseased or decayed stems. Tazetta daffodils tend to grow best when they are lightly pruned, so try to remove only a few stems from the plant at any given time. You may also want to lightly prune the foliage to keep the plant looking neat and tidy. It is best to avoid heavy pruning as this can cause stress to the plant.
