poeticus daffodil

The Poeticus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Milan') should be watered every week for optimal growth. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, it should have less water and the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. During the spring and summer months when the plant is actively growing, water should be increased to help keep the soil evenly moist. Be careful to not over-water the Poeticus Daffodil, as this can lead to root-rot. Watering from below is ideal, as it prevents water from collecting on the leaves and discoloring them.

The Poeticus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Milan') prefers full sun during the day, as well as partial shade in the afternoon. The plant should receive at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to thrive. For best results, plant the bulbs in an area that receives morning sun with afternoon shade. Proper sunlight will ensure the plant reaches its full potential and produces plenty of beautiful blooms.

Poeticus daffodils, or Narcissus 'Milan', should be pruned after their bloom season, usually in the late summer and early fall. Light pruning is recommended, as this small shrub is known to be a bit brittle. First, remove any dead or damaged stems that are not producing any blooms. Then, lightly cut back any over-sized stalks with a pair of garden shears, no more than halfway up the stalks. Also, consider dividing up any overly crowded clumps of bulbs to give them more room to grow and develop blossoms. Once the pruning is finished, apply a general-purpose fertilizer to the soil to promote healthy new growth.
