watering

Double Daffodils (Narcissus 'Acropolis' ) need to be watered deeply but infrequently. During the active growing season of spring and summer, water them as needed, making sure the soil is moist to at least 2 inches deep. During periods of dormancy (in winter), water them only enough to keep the soil from drying out completely. In very hot climates, more frequent watering may be necessary.

sunlight

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Acropolis') prefers full sun exposure but will tolerate partial shade, especially during the hottest time of the day. This plant species, like all daffodils, requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to bloom properly. Morning sunlight is particularly important for double daffodils as it promotes strong growth and vibrant blooms. During spring and summer when the temperatures become more extreme, it is best to place the double daffodil in a location with filtered sun exposure.

pruning

Double Daffodils (Narcissus 'Acropolis') should be lightly pruned after flowering to remove any dead or damaged foliage, as well as any flower stalks or seed heads. Pruning should be done in late spring or early summer, and should not be overly severe. Pruning can help keep the plant tidy and promote healthy growth. Care should be taken not to prune too much of the plant away, as this can harm its vitality.
