watering

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Southern Hospitality') require regular watering to ensure that their blooms remain vibrant for as long as possible. They should be watered once a week, providing enough moisture to reach the full root system. During particularly hot and dry conditions, water every other day. Water until the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out in between each watering and check the soil's moisture levels by feeling around the root area.

sunlight

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Southern Hospitality') require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day in order to thrive and produce beautiful blooms. The ideal amount of sunlight for this plant species is between 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day during the growing season, which typically lasts from early spring to late summer. They should be placed in a location that gets full sun in order to produce the best possible blooms. During the cooler months of fall and winter, daffodils can tolerate some light shade or Less.

pruning

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Southern Hospitality') should be pruned twice annually, once in mid-fall and once in mid-spring. In mid-fall, you should prune any dead, dying, or damaged stems as well as any spent blooms. In mid-spring, you should carefully prune back the stems to about 4-6 inches in length to ensure that your double daffodil will flower vigorously and produce larger blossoms. This type of daffodil should not be pruned heavily as it may damage the plant, so be sure to only prune the necessary stems.
