double daffodil

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Tahiti') should be watered generously when the soil is dry about 1-2 inches down from the soil’s surface. Water the soil slowly and evenly, so that the entire root system receives water. Water in the morning and avoid wetting the plant’s foliage in order to prevent fungal problems. During summer months, the soil should be monitored daily and the plant should be watered as needed. In winter months, reduce watering to every 2 weeks.

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Tahiti') need a good amount of sunlight to thrive, but they do not require full sun exposure. This plant prefers bright, indirect sunlight throughout the day, such as a spot near a window that receives several hours of sunlight. Ideally, Double daffodils should receive 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the warmer summer months, when the days are longer, they can benefit from up to 8 hours of sunlight. When the days are shorter in winter, this plant should only receive up to 4-6 hours of sunlight.

Pruning Double Daffodils, also known as Narcissus 'Tahiti', is best done after the bloom has wilted and dried for a few weeks. This will typically occur at the end of April or the beginning of May. To prune, the spent flower head should be cut off directly at the base. This will encourage more flowers to form. Additionally, any foliage that has turned yellow and died back should be removed. All cuts should be made very close to the base of the living foliage to avoid damaging any healthy parts of the plant. Pruning double daffodils in this way will ensure a healthy plant for future bloom seasons.
