jonquilla daffodil

The jonquilla daffodil (Narcissus 'Intrigue') is a low-maintenance flowering plant that needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. It should be watered about twice a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. The best time to water is in the morning or early afternoon, so that the leaves can dry off before nightfall and prevent any fungal diseases from occurring. A thorough watering should be done, meaning that the water should saturate the soil and allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can cause root rot and other plant diseases. Additionally, adding a layer of mulch around the jonquilla daffodils can help to keep the soil moist in between waterings.

Jonquilla daffodil (Narcissus 'Intrigue') is a bright and colorful plant species that enjoys full sun in order to reach its maximum potential. It should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, ideally between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm for the best results. Since this flower loves the sun, it’s important to take caution and make sure that direct sunlight is not too intense during the hottest times of the day, as this could cause the petals of the flower to burn. To stay healthy, the plant should be placed in a partially shady spot during the hottest times of the day in order to shield the petals from overheating. This species does particularly well in slightly moist soil that also allows for good drainage.

Jonquilla daffodil (Narcissus 'Intrigue') should be pruned once a year after blooming in the spring. Begin this process by cutting faded flower stalks to the base of the plant. Pruning should take place in late spring to early summer, when leaves have begun to die back or turn yellow and new growth has sprouted. The primary pruning for this species should be relatively light and remove only undesirable stems and crosses. Leaves can also be trimmed back to reduce the plant's overall height. Secondary pruning is not recommended for Jonquilla daffodil, as this can hurt its overall health.
