trumpet daffodil

Trumpet daffodil (Narcissus 'Lugano') requires ample water, especially during the growing season (from late winter until early summer). Water deeply and often enough to keep the soil evenly moist, but not saturated, as standing water can lead to root rot. Once the plants are established, water them once a week - unless there are a few days of unusually hot or dry weather, spaced between rainfalls, then it may be necessary to water more often. In areas subject to frost, daffodils should be watered with plenty of time before freezing temperatures arrive.

Trumpet daffodils such as Narcissus 'Lugano' prefer to have 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. They should ideally be planted in areas with full sun in the morning and some shade in the afternoon. When the weather is unusually hot, it is best to provide some additional shade in the late afternoon. In terms of timing, Trumpet Daffodils should receive their fullest hours of sunlight in the morning from right after sunrise to around mid-morning.

Trumpet daffodils (Narcissus 'Lugano') should be pruned after flowering has finished, usually in late spring or early summer (June-July). When in bloom, the flowers will go to seed as they age. To keep a neat and tidy garden, prune the faded flowers and foliage down to 8 inches (20cm) above the soil level. Make sure to leave the healthy foliage that will help the bulbs prepare for next year's blooms. Pruning is important as it keeps the plant healthy and encourages better flowering the following year.
