Daffodil

Narcissus spp.

Daffodils (Narcissus spp.) are iconic spring-flowering bulbs, known for their bright yellow, white, and orange trumpet-shaped blooms that signal the arrival of warmer days. Their distinctive flowers, featuring a central corona surrounded by petal-like tepals, create a striking display in garden beds, borders, and naturalized drifts. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, daffodils are deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and easy to grow, returning reliably each year. With thousands of cultivars available, they range from petite, delicate varieties to bold, large-flowered types, offering long-lasting beauty and fragrance.
