watering

Split-corona daffodil (Narcissus 'Mondragon') should be watered on a weekly basis, about 1–2 inches of water at a time. This should be done in late winter and early spring when the soil is dry. During hot summer months, it is important to water the Narcissus 'Mondragon' more often. Soil should be kept moist throughout the summer months, but not too soggy or wet. In the fall, watering should be decreased as the plant stops actively growing and enters dormancy.

sunlight

The split-corona daffodil, also known as Narcissus 'Mondragon', grows best in full sunlight or partial sunlight, meaning that it requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It prefers full sun during the morning and then can benefit from some afternoon shade. Planting this daffodil in too much shade will result in fewer flowers. It will also cause the growth to be lanky and weaker. The split-corona daffodil is hardy in zones 4-9, so exposure to at least 6-8 hours in sunlight is crucial, especially during the spring and summer when the flowers bloom.

pruning

Split-corona daffodils (Narcissus 'Mondragon') should be pruned each year after the flowers fade. The foliage should be left alone until it dies back naturally in late spring and early summer. At this time, cut back the foliage to the ground. It is also beneficial to dig and divide the clumps every 3 to 5 years during early spring to ensure good air circulation and to combat overcrowding.
