watering

Jonquilla daffodils need to be watered on a regular basis. During the summer months, the plants should be watered about once a week and allowed to dry out in between watering. During the winter months, the plants should be watered less often, generally about once per month or less depending on the weather. It is important to make sure the soil is not soggy, as this can lead to rot or other damage to the plants. Additionally, 2 or 3 times a year, it is important to give the plants a deep watering that fully soaks the soil. This will help to keep the soil and the plant healthy and promote further flowering.

sunlight

Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus 'Sun Disc') requires full sun for optimum growth and flowering. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Although the plant may tolerate partial shade, it will likely produce fewer flowers and the stems may be weak and spindly.

pruning

Jonquilla daffodils (Narcissus 'Sun Disc') should be pruned right after they have bloomed, which is typically in early spring. Start by removing the foliage that has started to turn yellow or brown. Cut the leaves back to the ground in order to allow the bulb to regrow and replenish nutrients. Then, prune the flower heads down to their base as soon as the flowers have wilted and turned brown. Allow the stems and foliage to remain in place until they start to break down into the soil. If you're growing a large clump of jonquilla daffodils, you may need to divide and replant some of the bulbs every 3 years or so in order to keep the clump healthy and vigorous.
