Narcissus 'Daydream'
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Daydream') is a bright and cheerful variety of flower. Its blooms come in cheerful shades of yellow, from creamy and light yellow to bright sunshine yellow. Its large and plump petals open up to reveal a golden-yellow center cone, making it look like a golden sun on a stem. It is an excellent choice for bringing color to a garden and is easily grown in most soil types when grown in full sunlight. It is also tolerant to drought, deer, and rabbits. Its strong and robust stems do not need any support, making it the perfect choice for brightening up any space.

watering
Water Large-cupped Daffodil (Narcissus 'Daydream') when the soil is dry to the touch. To do this, check the soil by sticking a finger into it about 2 inches deep. Water the soil deeply, until it is completely saturated - approximately 2-3 times a week is ideal. Make sure not to water the plant too often, as this can lead to root rot. During cooler temperatures, reduce the frequency of watering to once a week.
sunlight
Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Daydream') should be planted in an area that receives at least 6 hours of full sunlight per day during the flowering season. When possible, make sure the daffodil gets full sunlight during the morning hours and partial shade during the afternoon hours. This will help prevent the bloom from wilting in the hot summer months. Early spring is the ideal time to plant large-cupped daffodils and they should be planted in well-draining soil with adequate organic matter.
pruning
Large-cupped daffodils (Narcissus 'Daydream') should be pruned shortly after flowering. Cut off the flower stems near the base of the plant, but avoid cutting the foliage. Doing this will help prevent the spread of disease, while allowing nutrients to be returned to the bulbs. To encourage healthy blooming the following year, leave the foliage intact until it yellows and dies back naturally, usually around mid-summer. Avoid cutting the leaves too early, as the bulbs need them to store energy for the next blooming season.
