watering

Water double daffodils thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry lightly between waterings. During the growing season, water them when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In the fall, reduce watering so the soil is just damp. During the winter and early spring months, water sparingly, typically just enough to keep the soil slightly damp.

sunlight

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'White Lion') need full sun to partial shade in order to bloom. This plant should be planted in an area that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If planted in an area with partial shade, around 3–5 hours of direct sunlight should ensure adequate flowering. While too much sunlight can damage the daffodil, it is important for the plant to get enough light to be able to grow and bloom well.

pruning

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'White Lion') should be pruned in early spring when the leaves start to die back. It may require a light pruning by cutting off any dead flower heads, leaving behind the smaller green buds. This will ensure the plants receive the required sunlight for robust growth. Once the foliage has completely died back, it is best to reduce the stems so the plant doesn't become too overcrowded. This can be done by cutting back any stalks that are more than 1-third of their original length. Additionally, any foliage that appears to be damaged or diseased should be removed to prevent the spread of the issue.
