large-cupped daffodil

The large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Sonar') is a robust, long lasting variety that requires regular watering to maintain its beauty. In general, daffodils do well with a thorough watering once a week. However, in the hot summer months, the large-cupled daffodil may need extra watering. If the soil around the plant is dry, it should be watered thoroughly. This should be done in the morning, so the leaves of the plant can dry during the day and not be susceptible to fungal diseases. As these are highly sensitive to root rot, it’s important to water them correctly, and not leave them in overly wet soil.

Large-cupped daffodil (Narcissus 'Sonar') needs full sun in order to produce large, showy flowers. It prefers 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day, but can tolerate some shade if necessary. In hotter climates, the daffodil should be planted in a place where it gets some shade during the hottest parts of the day. During the dormant season, it's best to keep the daffodil in full sun as it will help to ensure good growth and flowering in the following season.

For optimal growth of Narcissus 'Sonar' (large-cupped daffodil), pruning should be done in early spring. Prune off any dead or damaged foliage from the plant. Additionally, any leaves that are yellowing or showing signs of disease should also be removed. In the late spring, cut back any spent flower stems after the flowers have faded, leaving the foliage to nourish the bulbs for the following season. Finally, in late fall, cut back the foliage before winter sets in, as this will prevent frost damage from occurring. By pruning at the correct times, your large-cupped daffodil will be healthy and produce many flowers for years to come.
