trumpet daffodil

The trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Bravoure') is a hardy plant that thrives best with consistent and adequate watering. During the active growing season of spring and summer, water your trumpet daffodil regularly and deeply. Water the soil until the top few inches are moist but not soggy. Deep watering encourages deep root development, which will help the plant cope with drought when necessary. During hot weather, you may need to water your trumpet daffodil as frequently as every 2 to 3 days. Reduce watering after blooming has finished, but do not let the plant dry out completely.

Trumpet daffodils, such as Narcissus 'Bravoure', thrive in full sun to dappled shade and prefer soils that are well-drained with a slightly acidic pH. To get the best blooms from your daffodils, choose a site that gets full sun in the morning and dappled shade in the afternoon for 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Hot, direct afternoon sunlight can be stressful to the plant, so look for sites that offer protection from the hot afternoon sun. If the trumpet daffodils receive too much shade, their blooms may be less robust than those in sunnier locations.

Trumpet Daffodil (Narcissus 'Bravoure') should be pruned as soon as the flowering period has ended. This will keep the foliage from shading any new buds for the next season. The foliage should be cut back to the base in late Spring or early Summer when it has started to look yellow or faded. If left alone for too long, the foliage can become a nuisance and take away from the vibrant coloring in the rest of the garden. In addition, deadheading is important in order to stop seeding and increase the flowering in the upcoming season. Finally, the hollow stems and seed pods from the potted plants should also be removed along with any dead flower heads. When pruning, it is important to keep the vigor of the plants in mind, and prune only as needed in order to maintain a healthy and vibrant garden.
