watering
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Stylish') should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Water only when the soil is dry to the touch about 1 inch down into the soil. As a general rule, you should water daffodils around once or twice a week during the growing season (spring until early summer). During hot weather, you may need to water more often, 3 times a week or more if necessary. Be sure to reduce watering once the foliage begins to yellow and die back. When the plants are dormant during the winter, water less frequently because the plants will require less moisture.
sunlight
The large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Stylish') requires full sun to partial sun for optimum growth and blooms. It should be planted in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day throughout the blooming season, typically between April and May. Morning sunshine is the best choice but it will also do well in partial shade in the afternoon.
pruning
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Stylish') should ideally be pruned in the spring after flowering, when the leaves wilt and start to brown. Prune away the wilted leaves and stems at the base of the plant, cutting back to the ground or just below the surface. There is no need to prune aggressively, as excessive pruning can reduce the number of flowers the plant produces in future years. If needed, lightly shape the foliage to create a more compact, balanced look. While the daffodil does not need a great deal of pruning for the health of the plant, cutting away the spent flowers and leaves will help encourage a tidy, attractive appearance.
