cyclamineus daffodil

Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Kaydee') prefers moist soil, so it should be watered on a regular basis. It is best to water well when first planted, thoroughly saturating the soil. After that, water deeply but less frequently, ideally letting the soil dry out slightly between watering. During the active growing season, plan to water every 10-14 days in the absence of rain, adjusting as necessary in response to local weather conditions. In areas with higher temperatures or strong winds, plan to water more often. It is important to water at the base of the plant, not on the foliage. During winter dormancy, you can reduce watering to once a month.

The amount and timing of sunlight needed for Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Kaydee') will depend on the region in which the plant is located and the season. In cooler climates, full sun is ideal in spring and early summer, while in hotter regions, partial shade is recommended, especially during the hottest parts of the day. During autumn and winter, the exposure to sunlight should also be reduced, as the plant naturally enters a dormant period. This will help prevent winter damage to the flower heads. For optimal growth and flowering of the ‘Kaydee’ daffodils, 6-8 hours of sunlight per day should be provided.

Pruning of Cyclamineus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Kaydee') should occur after flowering and is best accomplished in late spring or early summer. The goal is to prevent the spread of diseases by removing diseased, damaged or overgrown foliage. Pruning should be done first by removing any dead or fading foliage and then removing anything that is overly tall, rubs against something else, or appears weak or diseased. Lastly, prune the foliage down to a manageable level, but try not to remove more than 1-third of the total foliage. Don’t forget to water the Cyclamineus Daffodil bulb after pruning.
