watering

Trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Brer Fox') requires regular watering to thrive. During the growing season, which begins in the spring and ends in late summer, water the plant deeply and consistently. This can be done once or twice a week, just as long as the soil does not become overly saturated. During the fall and winter months, reduce watering to just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely. Additionally, make sure to avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the chance of fungal disease.

sunlight

Trumpet daffodils, which include the cultivar Narcissus 'Brer Fox', need full sunlight for at least 6 hours per day to grow and bloom. When grown in good conditions, they will bloom in the late winter or early spring. When grown in partial shade, the flowers may become less vibrant and bloom later in the season. It is important to plan accordingly so that the flowers are sheltered from late frosts. As such, it is advised to plant the bulbs in late autumn in an area which receives full sunlight during the day.

pruning

Trumpet daffodils (Narcissus 'Brer Fox') are typically hardy and easy to maintain, so only light pruning is necessary. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring, just before or shortly after the flowering finishes. Remove any dead or damaged flower stems and cut down the foliage and seed heads. This will help keep the plant healthy and prevent diseases. To achieve a compact shape, shear off the tips of the foliage. This can be done with garden scissors or clippers. It's also important to remove any old foliage that has died during the season to prevent disease and encourage fresh new growth.
