watering
Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Peeping Tom') should be watered once a week, providing the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings. Water the flowers deeply, until the soil is moist but not soggy. Be sure to water the ground around the roots, not the plant itself. Do not water the leaves, as this can encourage diseases. In hot weather, additional watering may be needed. If the soil is very dry and fast-draining, an extra watering per week can help the blooms last longer.
sunlight
Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Peeping Tom') is a species of daffodil that requires full to partial sunlight in order to thrive. It likes 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, whether it is in the form of natural sunlight or provided via an artificial light source. The majority of this sunlight should be in the morning, as too much sun exposure late in the day or at night can be harmful. This type of daffodil needs some shade in the afternoon in order to help keep it from becoming sunburned or otherwise damaged from too much heat or light.
pruning
Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Peeping Tom') should be pruned after flowering ceases, usually in late spring. This will help to ensure that all of the flower's energy is devoted to building a strong bulb for the following season. Pruning should involve removing the dead flower heads, stems and foliage as close to the base of the plant as possible. It is important to not remove too much foliage, as this could weaken the plant or cause the bulbs not to store enough energy for the following season. Overall, light pruning should be done to tidy up the plants after flowering, and give the plant the best chance of producing healthy flowers in the following season.
