watering

Trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Carrickbeg') should be watered deeply at least once a week, or when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry. The soil should be kept consistently moist, however, it should not be waterlogged or overly soggy. To check for over-watering, it is best to dig down into the soil a few inches. Instead of irrigating every day, it is a better practice to give your daffodils a thorough soaking once or twice a week. Water at the base of the plant and avoid getting the flower or foliage wet when possible.

sunlight

The trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Carrickbeg') will be happy with full sun during the morning and partial shade during the afternoon. It needs 6-8 hours of direct sunlight on most days, with some protection from the hot summer midday sun. The trumpet daffodil appreciates having some dappled sunlight for the remainder of the day. If grown indoors, bright, indirect light is preferred.

pruning

The best time to prune Trumpet Daffodils (Narcissus 'Carrickbeg') is after the foliage yellows and dies after their flowering in the late spring and early summer. It is not recommended to cut off the flowers until the flowers and foliage have completely wilted and dried out. However, if needed, the foliage may be cut back before flowering has finished - just make sure it is done carefully in order to not cut off the blossoms. It is also a good idea to remove any flowers or seed heads left on the plant before pruning. In terms of how much to prune, Trumpet Daffodils generally don't require much pruning. Generally, simply remove the old foliage directly after flowers have faded. If desired, excess foliage may be lightly trimmed back a few inches above the ground in order to make the plant look more neat and tidy. This is generally only necessary to achieve a desired result like maintaining a consistent size across multiple plants.
