large-cupped daffodil

Water your large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Vintage Rose') with about 1 inch of water per week. Watering at night or in the early morning, when temperatures are cooler, is best to minimize evaporation. Make sure the ground remains moist, but not soggy or overly saturated, especially during the warmer months of the year. Water the soil near the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage.

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Vintage Rose') plants should be grown in full sun in order to thrive. This variety of daffodil likes to get about 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day during peak bloom season. It is important to note that direct sunlight is not the same as bright light. Direct sunlight is light that is not blocked or filtered through glass, clouds, shade, etc. If possible, the plants should be planted where they are not shaded by trees, buildings, or other structures throughout the day. During the heat of the summer months, the plants may benefit from light afternoon shading.

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Vintage Rose') should be pruned after the blooming season ends, usually in late spring or early summer. The spent flowers should be cut at the base of the stem and the foliage left on after pruning to maintain photosynthesis for the bulb. It is best to prune the foliage off only once it has completely died back. Deadheading the flowers by pruning helps to encourage new blooms for the following year. Additionally, regular maintenance pruning can help to keep the daffodil flowering well. Quickly remove any dead, damaged, or diseased leaves or stems before they spread the problem to untouched parts of the plant. Prune lightly, as removing too much of the foliage may damage the plant.
