double daffodil

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Petit Four') should be watered 2 or 3 times a week throughout the growing season. Water deeply so that the soil is saturated and allow the top 2 or 3 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. It is important to avoid overwatering, as it can cause top-heavy plants and they may become unstable and topple over. During the hottest part of the summer, additional water may be necessary.

Double daffodil (Narcissus 'Petit Four') needs full sunlight to thrive. This means the plant should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the double daffodil is placed in an area where it receives partial shade for part of the day, it will still be able to produce large flowers but they won’t be as vibrant. The double daffodil can be placed outdoors during the early morning and move to a shadier spot for the later afternoon hours. With the proper sunlight, this plant species will grow 12 to 18 inches in height and flower from April to June.

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Petit Four') should be pruned in late winter or early spring after their spring flowering has finished. This is typically in March or April. Pruning should only involve deadheading and removing any damaged or wilted stems. It is important to not prune too much of the foliage away, as this will affect the amount of energy the plant can pull from the sun in order to bloom.If needed, remove any overly long stems to keep the plant in a more compact shape.
