Plant bulbs at one and a half to two times their own depth in autumn. Will tolerate most soils but prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil that is constantly moist during the growing season. Good for naturalising. See also daffodil cultivation

Deadhead as flowers fade and allow the leaves to die down naturally

Propagate by removing offsets as the leaves fade in early summer

May be attacked by slugs, large narcissus bulb fly, narcissus eelworm, and bulb scale mite

May be affected by narcissus basal rot, narcissus leaf scorch or daffodil viruses
