double daffodil

Double daffodils (Narcissus 'Rose of May') should be watered approximately every 2 weeks during the growing season. Use lukewarm water and keep the soil moist but not too soggy. Depending on weather conditions and soil type, this could mean more frequent watering, so monitor the soil moisture. Water thoroughly, as these bulbs require an even and consistent moisture supply. Reduce watering once the flowers have died back and their foliage has yellowed and withered, usually in the late summer/early fall. After that, the bulbs should be left alone until the following spring when the cycle begins again.

Double Daffodils (Narcissus 'Rose of May') are a bulb plant that require at least 8 hours of direct sunlight to grow properly. They prefer to be planted in full-sun areas that get sunshine for at least 6 hours a day from early morning to late afternoon. Avoid placing them in areas that receive afternoon shade as this will not produce the desired bloom. Additionally, ensure the bulbs are in an area with good drainage and that the soil does not stay soggy. With ample sunlight, the daffodil plants should reach blooming by mid-spring in most areas, although this varies depending on region, climate and weather.

Double Daffodil (Narcissus 'Rose of May') should be pruned in late spring, shortly after the flowers start to fade. Pruning should be done very lightly and selectively, only removing any dead or crowded foliage. Prune too much and you will reduce the next season's bloom. Additionally, deadheading individual flowers (or entire stems) after blooming will encourage more blooms to appear.
