watering
The large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Euphonic Grace') should be watered regularly, aiming for the soil to stay moist but not soggy. Water the plant deeply once a week during spring and summer. Reduce watering to every other week or once every 2 weeks in the fall months. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry during the winter months.
sunlight
The large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Euphonic Grace') requires full sun to partial shade for optimal health and vitality. This species of daffodil should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily, preferably in the early morning or late afternoon. During the spring and summer months when the sun is at its hottest and brightest, it is best to provide some afternoon shade for the plant, as too much direct sun can scorch and dry out the foliage.
pruning
For Large-cupped Daffodil (Narcissus 'Euphonic Grace'), pruning should be done just after flowering, generally from March to early-May. It is important to remove flower stalks and seed pods that may be forming. Cut the stalks at ground level and it is advisable to use sharp tools such as hand pruners or gardens shears to tidy up the plants. Also, it is recommended to cut back the foliage to the base of the plant to encourage new growth. This should be done after the foliage has died down in late summer. Pruning should be light and done only when absolutely necessary in order to promote the growth of new flowers and reduce disease.
