split-corona daffodil

Split-corona daffodils like 'Flyer' need soil that is consistently moist, but not soggy. Water them thoroughly when the soil begins tofeel dry to the touch. Aim to water the plant just enough so the soil remains evenly moist. In hotter climates with higher temperatures, you may need to water more frequently. In cooler climates, you may need to water less often.

The Split-Corona Daffodil (Narcissus 'Flyer') needs full sun (6 - 8 hours per day) during the growing season (March to June). During summer and fall, it needs partial or filtered sun for 4 to 5 hours each day. During winter, it needs protection from the cold. During this time, the plant should receive some light, but not more than 5 hours each day, as too much sun can cause sunburn or fading. Provide well-drained soil with light watering and protection from harsh winds for optimum growth.

Split-Corona Daffodil (Narcissus 'Flyer') should be pruned once the blooming cycle has finished. When the flowers have faded, the leaves may turn an unattractive yellow-green color. To maintain a tidy appearance, they can be pruned back to the basal foliage, cutting directly above the basal foliage when possible. Pruning should take place mid-spring, after the blooming has finished and before the new growth starts to form. It's important to make sure that any of the foliage that remains after pruning is healthy and green. If it appears yellow or wilted, it should be removed as well.
