Sturdy, low-maintenance plants, they reach 8-10 inches in height and will re-bloom reliably each year. Plant a single bulb of Cyclamineus Daffodil in the garden or among other perennials for a lovely naturalised effect. These daffodils will naturalize nicely and are best planted in clumps to create a vibrant splash of colour in the spring garden.

watering

Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Jenny') prefers moist, well-drained soil and should be watered moderately throughout the growing season. During the spring and summer, water it once or twice a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In the fall and winter, when the plant is dormant, reduce the watering schedule to once a month or even less. The plant should generally receive no more than 1 inch of water per week. For best results, use a soaker hose or other form of drip irrigation. This will ensure that water is consistently and evenly applied to the soil.

sunlight

Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Jenny') grows best in full sun for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the plant is planted in a shady spot, it can thrive on as little as 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. It's important to ensure the plant is not shaded too much as it may not bloom as well. To ensure blooms, daffodils will need to receive sunlight for the majority of the day during the spring when they are flowering. If planted in an area that receives insufficient sunlight, daffodils will still survive, but may not bloom as prolifically.

pruning

Cyclamineus daffodils, such as Narcissus 'Jenny', require very little pruning. After they have finished blooming and the foliage has died back, simply cut the foliage off close to the base of the bulb. This will make adequate space for the new foliage which should grow in the spring. In addition, you can also remove any dead, diseased, or damaged foliage you come across. Pruning in the fall helps to preserve air and sun circulation and may help to promote better flowering for the following season.
