watering

Trumpet daffodils should be watered deeply and regularly during their active growing season in the spring and summer months. Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry, or every 7-14 days. During fall dormancy, water the trumpet daffodil every 2-4 weeks. Make sure to water slowly and deeply. This will allow the water to penetrate to the plant’s roots. If possible, water with rain water or distilled water to prevent the foliage from developing fungal diseases such as mildew.

sunlight

Trumpet daffodils (Narcissus 'Gin and Lime') need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and flowering. For best results, try to give them as much sun as possible, especially during the early morning and late afternoon. In areas with hot climates, plants should be planted in slightly shaded areas to avoid sunburn and wilting. Morning sun is also recommended, as it helps to dry the foliage quickly and helps keep aphids away.

pruning

Trumpet Daffodils, or Narcissus 'Gin and Lime', should be pruned when the foliage has yellowed and died back, usually late spring or early summer. Pruning should be light and done with sharp, clean sheers. Cut back the spent foliage to a couple of inches above the soil surface, taking care not to damage any emerging bud or flower blooms. Deadheading older spent blooms can also help encourage new blooms for the next season. You may lightly fertilize the Trumpet Daffodils after pruning is complete.
