double daffodil

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Meeting') is a generously blooming hardy perennial that loves moisture! To keep your plant healthy, water it regularly. Water deeply twice per month in the spring and summer, and once every few weeks in winter. If the soil around your daffodil plant becomes dry, water more frequently. It's better to keep the soil slightly moist than let it dry out completely between watering. Make sure to water your daffodils at the base of the plant and not on the foliage - damp foliage can lead to a variety of fungal diseases.

Double Daffodil (Narcissus ‘Meeting’) is best grown in full sun to partial shade. It prefers a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight every day, with brighter areas receiving more sunlight. Morning hours are best to provide the plant with the energy it needs for the day, but it should be protected from the hotter mid-day and afternoon sun. This plant will appreciate filtered afternoon light in hotter climates. It is best to avoid locations where direct sunlight is blocked out for large periods of time, as this will weaken the plant.

Double daffodils should be pruned after flowering is complete, which generally occurs in the late spring or early summer months. Pruning should be done by cutting back, or deadheading, the spent flowers. This will discourage seed formation, allowing the plant to focus energy on foliage and roots growth instead. Additionally, pruning will reduce air flow problems that can promote fungal growth. It will also promote more productive and plentiful flowering in the future. Prune only when the foliage on the plant appears dry, as pruning a moist plant can lead to fungal diseases. The plant should not require major pruning – simply deadhead the spent flowers and lightly prune the stems.
