miscellaneous daffodil

Water miscellaneous daffodil (Narcissus 'Golden Quince') once a week, or more often when the soil is dry to the touch. Water the soil deeply so that it is moist but not soggy. Daffodils need 1-2 inches of water each week during their active growth season. Water thoroughly, making sure that the moisture gets all the way to the roots. Avoid splashing water onto the leaves and flowers as this can cause fungal diseases. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings for best results.

Miscellaneous daffodils (Narcissus 'Golden Quince') should receive 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flowering. During hot and sunny times, daffodils should receive morning sunlight and be protected from the heat of the afternoon. Be sure to provide shade for younger daffodil plants, since they are more sensitive to the direct sun. If planted in a shady area, daffodils will still flower but at a much lesser extent. During the winter, when the sun is lower, it's best to keep daffodils away from hot, dry winds.

Pruning of the miscellaneous daffodil (Narcissus 'Golden Quince') should be done annually in late winter or early spring, just before the plant begins actively growing. Remove any dead, diseased, or otherwise damaged foliage. Cut brown or damaged flower stems just above the foliage to create a tidy appearance. Also, prune out any foliage that is showing signs of crowding or overcrowding in the center of the plant. Pruning encourages fuller and healthier blooms and helps the plant maintain its shape and size -so do not prune too much or too little.
