watering

Water trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Aunt Betty') frequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid wetting the leaves and flowers to prevent fungal problems. During the growing season, water until the soil is soaked to a depth of 6 inches. Once the leaves emerge, water when the soil begins to dry out. During the winter months, reduce watering to every 4-6 weeks.

sunlight

Trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Aunt Betty') grows best in full or partial sunlight, receiving at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If planted in full sun, ideally locate the plant in an area that receives morning sunlight and some shade in the afternoon. These daffodils can also tolerate some shade, although it may affect their flowering. If grown in full shade, expect fewer flowers and some foliage dieback.

pruning

The trumpet daffodil, or Narcissus 'Aunt Betty', should be pruned when the blooms have faded. Once the blooms have faded, cut off the flower stem and the foliage all the way to the base of the plant. This will help promote better flowering in the following season. Pruning should be done on a yearly basis in late summer or early fall. Pruning helps the trumpet daffodil maintain its shape and size and helps keep it healthy and strong.
