split-corona daffodil

Split-corona daffodils should be watered weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the season and the weather conditions. In the spring and summer months, they should be watered about once a week, providing 1-2 inches of water at each watering session. During the fall and winter months, they should be watered deeply (2-3 inches) every other week. It is important to water deeply and infrequently. Providing too much water can lead to root rot and other problems, while not providing enough can lead to unhealthy plants. Additionally, always check the soil before watering; if the top 2 inches of soil is still moist, then the daffodils do not need to be watered.

Split corona daffodils (Narcissus 'Tricollet') require plenty of sunlight to perform optimally. In the winter, this species should receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day and ideally up to 9 to 10 hours. During the spring and summer months, split corona daffodils should be exposed to full sun, with at least 8 hours of strong sunlight that is not obstructed by trees or buildings. In addition, split corona daffodils should be planted in well-drained soil so that their flowers receive enough sunlight without having to compete with the additional moisture.

Split-corona daffodils (Narcissus 'Tricollet') should be pruned in late spring, once flower stems have died down and leaves have started to fade. At this time, reduce dead foliage and stems down to a few inches above the soil and cut off any remaining flower heads. It is important to limit pruning as it can reduce vigour and diminish future flowering display. Removing discolored or damaged leaves at any time during the growing season can also help maintain a healthy plant.
