watering

Large-cupped daffodils should be watered frequently, approximately once per week. The soil should be kept consistently moist, but not overly saturated. In the hottest months, they may need water twice a week. If the soil feels dry, water deeply and then let the top inch of the soil dry out before you water again. Make sure not to water the leaves or blooms, as this may cause them to rot. If the blooms become wilted, they may recover if watered deeply afterwards.

sunlight

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Rosy Wonder') requires full sunshine or at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day in order to produce vibrant flowers and healthy foliage. This plant thrives in locations between mid-morning and mid-afternoon, when the sun is at its highest and brightest. Sunlight is particularly important during the growth and flowering stages, as these are when the plant takes in the most nutrients. For best growth and to get the most out of their bloom, they should be placed in a sunny spot in a garden or container. Daffodils need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, but more is even better, provided it is not too intense.

pruning

Large-cupped daffodils (Narcissus 'Rosy Wonder') should be pruned once their foliage yellows and withers in late spring or early summer, approximately 6-8 weeks after the plants bloom. To prune, remove the entire flower stalk (including flower and bud) at the base, leaving the foliage intact. This will help keep the plant looking tidy and prevent the plant from wasting energy producing non-flowering seedheads. Once the stalks have been removed, the plant can also be gently divided by carefully lifting and separating the clumps. After dividing, divide the clumps into smaller sections and replant them in bigger pots. This will promote better growth and flowering.
