Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Hawera') is a beautiful spring flower with a cluster of drooping white petals and a bright yellow center. They have narrow leaves and can grow up to one foot in height. These plants do best in sunny, well-drained soil, and they grow well in flower beds or in containers. They can be enjoyed as cut flowers and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The cheerful blooms emerge in late winter and will provide an early splash of color in the garden.

watering

Triandrus Daffodils should be watered when the soil is completely dry to touch, usually approximately once a week. The amount of water that needs to be applied varies depending on the size of the pot, soil type, and surrounding temperature and humidity. A general rule of thumb is to apply enough water to wet the entire soil mix, without creating sogginess. After water is applied, be sure to allow the water to drain out of the pot and discard it from the plant saucer. Overwatering will result in root rot and can lead to the death of your daffodil.

sunlight

Triandrus daffodil (Narcissus 'Hawera') is a medium-sized plant that prefers plenty of sunshine to stimulate flowering. For optimal growth and flowering, the plant should have at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It will tolerate some shade, but flowering will be reduced. If grown in containers, it is important to keep the container in an area that receives 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. When grown in the ground, make sure that it is planted in an area that receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

pruning

Pruning Triandrus daffodils (Narcissus 'Hawera') is best done in late spring. At this point in the season, the plant will have started producing new leaves and the flower stems won't have grown too tall. Begin by carefully handmade pruning shears to cut away any dead, brown flower heads. Make sure to leave some of the flowers in tact as this prevents tangled foliage. Additionally, cut away any damaged or diseased leaves. Finally, use pruning shears to trim the foliage down to a maximum of 15 cm in height. This will encourage the plant to rebloom earlier in the season.
