🌱 How to Care for Wild Daffodil to Prevent Grey Mould?

💧 How to Water

Water regularly and keep the soil consistently moist from planting through the end of flowering. Once the foliage begins to yellow after bloom, reduce watering and allow the bulb to dry out during its summer dormancy to prevent rot.

☀️ Lighting

Grow in full sun to light partial shade. At least six hours of direct light daily produces the strongest flowering; too much shade reduces bloom and weakens the bulb over time.

🪴 Ideal Soil

Plant in average, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. The species tolerates a range of soils but flowers best in slightly acidic to neutral, moisture-retentive ground that never becomes waterlogged.
