Narcissus 'Erlicheer'

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Erlicheer') is a winter-hardy perennial flower with a unique two-toned flower. The trumpet-like flower center is yellow, while the outer petals of the flower are white. Its blooming period typically extends from February to April. Grown in borders, rock gardens, and containers, double daffodil is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. It enjoys sun to partial shade, making it ideal for many gardeners. Its flowers are deer and rabbit resistant. Double daffodil requires very little care to continue producing blooms year after year.

watering

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Erlicheer') requires moderate to frequent watering for it to thrive. During the active growth period, water young plants when the soil feels dry, usually once or twice per week. As the plants mature, the frequency and amount of water can be decreased to every other week or so. Ensure that the soil remains evenly moist and be sure to avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. In hot summer weather, extra water may be required due to increased evaporation. During the rest period (winter), reduce watering to about once a month or as needed. It is also important to make sure the soil has a proper drainage system and does not become waterlogged.

sunlight

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Erlicheer') prefers full sun to partial shade, meaning that it should be placed in an area that will receive at least 4 or 5 hours of direct sunlight throughout the day but also some shade, preferably in the late afternoon and evening. To ensure that the Double Daffodil receives adequate amounts of sunlight, it is best to keep the flower in a sunny location throughout most of the day. As the flower stalls in winter, it is advised to plant it in a location that will not be shaded by trees or other large objects during the summer months.

pruning

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Erlicheer') should be pruned in late spring or early summer. Pruning should be done to remove old, spent flowers and to encourage new blooms. Cut off the faded flowers at least halfway down the stem and prune the leaves that have yellowed or wilted. Pruning should be done gently, as to not damage the stems and foliage. Pruning is essential for healthy and abundant blooms and it should be done regularly, as soon as the flowers start to fade.
