cyclamineus daffodil

Cyclamineus Daffodil is a spring-flowering variety of Narcissus, and loves well-drained, lightly acidic soil. Generally, it should be planted in autumn in most parts of the world, although it can still be planted in spring in milder climates. When it comes to watering, it is best to keep the soil slightly damp. Water about once a week, applying enough water to moisten the soil without making it soggy. During the hot summer months, the soil may need to be watered more frequently. It is important to make sure the soil does not dry out during this time. If your area has high temperatures and low rainfall during the summer months, you may need to supplement natural rainfall with regular irrigation to keep the plant happy. Regardless of the season, add a layer of mulch around the plant to reduce evaporation and keep the area cool.

Cyclamineus Daffodil (Narcissus 'Straight Arrow') thrives in full-sun situations, receiving at least 6 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day. As a spring flowering bulb, it performs best in areas of the garden that have sun in the morning and afternoon with some protection from the hottest, midday summer sun. If possible, plant in a sheltered location that also offers some protection from the wind.

Cyclamineus daffodil (Narcissus 'Straight Arrow') should be pruned after it has finished blooming so as to not remove any of the upcoming flower buds. It should be pruned by cutting down the flower stems to about 4-5 inches above the foliage. It is important to remove any dead foliage and dead heads. Pruning should be done annually for optimum health and growth.
