large-cupped daffodil

This particular species of daffodil needs to be watered regularly, but not too frequently. During the active growing season (early spring through early summer), the soil should be kept moist but not soggy. If rainfall is sufficient, water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In times of very dry weather, water every 7-10 days. Once the flowers wither in mid- to late-summer, the soil can be allowed to dry between waterings.

Large-cupped daffodils, such as Narcissus 'Wild Carnival', thrive best with full sun and moist, well-drained soil. The plants should get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, to ensure that they grow vigorously and boast an abundance of vibrant blooms. If planted in a spot with partial sun, it is important to supplement the light with a few hours of artificial light each day.

When it comes to pruning large-cupped daffodils, it is important to wait until a few weeks after the flowering period ends. This should occur in late Spring or early Summer. Pruning should not be too thorough, as it could damage the flowers or foliage. Instead, you should focus on cutting off any dead or damaged foliage. Removing dead foliage can help to encourage healthy growth in the new season. You may also prune to keep the plant a manageable size or shape. This can be done by cutting off stems at the base. Be sure to use a sharp tool to make a clean cut, avoiding damage to the rest of the plant. As a general rule of thumb, aim to remove no more than 1-third of the plant when pruning.
