Water: Jonquil 'Pipit' requires minimal water, typically just once after planting, unless it's dry. Potted jonquil 'Pipit' needs more frequent watering during growth and flowering. Avoid watering during dormancy in summer to prevent bulb rot, resuming in autumn and winter as needed when the soil dries.

Fertilize: Jonquil 'Pipit' requires minimal fertilizer. Incorporate bulb food or bone meal in fall planting. For spring, use a water-soluble fertilizer with a 5-10-10 ratio for leaves and 0-10-10 for flowering. After flowering, top dress with potassium fertilizer to enhance bulb rejuvenation.

Pruning: Jonquil 'Pipit' features fragrant yellow-white flowers in clusters. Prune dead leaves in early spring and remove spent blooms post-flowering to conserve bulb energy. Cut back yellowed foliage in late spring for nutrient storage, promoting better flowering and overall health in subsequent seasons.

Propagation: Jonquil 'Pipit' is a perennial bulb available at garden centers. Baby bulbs form around mature bulbs, which can be propagated by digging them out in autumn, cutting them off, and replanting them. After 2-3 years, the plant may bloom again.
