double daffodil

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Delnashaugh') should be watered about once every 4-7 days. In the Summer months, the soil should be kept lightly moist, however, in the Winter months, you can allow the soil to dry out between waters. It is best to water directly at the soil level and avoid getting the foliage too wet. Check the soil about 1-2 inches below the surface each time to see if moisture is needed. If the soil is dry then it is time to water. Additionally, in Spring and Fall, when the plant is actively growing, you may need to water more frequently.

The amount and timing of sunlight needed for the double daffodil (Narcissus 'Delnashaugh') is important for optimum growth and health. This plant species prefers full sun to partial shade with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Double daffodils planted in hotter climates or in an area that receives more than 8 hours of sunlight daily should be relocated to eliminate stress from excessive heat. In order for the double daffodil to receive the best light exposure, ensure that it is planted in an area with ample sunlight and avoid shady spots, areas with thick foliage or buildings that create a deep half-shade.

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Delnashaugh') should be pruned lightly, just after flowering. If pruning is needed due to overgrowth, it can also be done during fall or early spring before the growing season. A light pruning involves removing excessive growth and dead or damaged foliage and flower stalks. After pruning, the bulbs should be fertilized and watered. Pruning this species of daffodil too heavily can reduce flowering the following year.
