To thrive, Narcissus 'Gay Tabor' needs a sunny spot. Aim for full sun to partial shade, ensuring at least six hours of sunlight daily. Consider the microclimates in your garden. Protect your plants from harsh winds, which can damage delicate blooms. These bulbs prefer well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter.

This spacing helps prevent overcrowding and promotes healthy blooms. After planting, give your bulbs a thorough watering. This initial soak helps establish roots in their new home.

Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Adjust your watering routine based on rainfall and temperature to ensure the bulbs thrive. Fertilize your Narcissus in early spring as growth begins. A balanced NPK fertilizer or a bulb-specific formula works best. Apply fertilizer once in spring, and consider a second application after flowering to support ongoing growth.

Deadheading is essential for encouraging more blooms. Remove spent flowers promptly to promote new growth. Allow the foliage to die back naturally.
