jonquilla daffodil

Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus 'Fruit Cup') should be watered once a week in the spring and summer, and no more than twice a week in the fall. The plant will need more water during periods of drought. Always check the soil before watering; if it is still damp below the surface, wait until it has dried out a bit. The soil should never be waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot and other problems. Reduce watering in the winter months, but never allow the plant to dry out completely. Overwatering is almost as bad as underwatering, so make sure to do it right.

Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus 'Fruit Cup') is a perennial plant from the Amaryllidaceae family and it requires full sun or partial shade and moist well-drained soil. It does best in soils that are slightly acidic, with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. When grown in full sun, these plants will thrive and produce more robust blooms over a longer period of time. In areas with partial sun, where the light is more diffuse, the bloom time will be shorter. For optimum growth, Jonquilla Daffodils should receive 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight for maximum blooming potential. In warm climates, it may be best to provide the plants with some shade during the hottest parts of the day in order to protect them from scorching.

Jonquilla Daffodils (Narcissus 'Fruit Cup') should be pruned in late spring after blooming has finished, usually in late May or early June. Cut the flowers off at their stems, as close to the ground as possible. Remove any yellowing or drooping foliage and cut back stems to about 6 inches above the soil level. Additionally, if any stems have died or grown too long, prune them back to the desired size. Finally, remove any obvious weeds and fertilize the plant, then water it thoroughly.
