Narcissi

The Narcissi are a family of hardy spring-flowering bulbs, including the daffodil. Narcissi are native to southern Europe but the range of species in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available in nurseries practically every year.

Narcissi are sometimes called jonquils in North America, but strictly speaking that name belongs only to the rush-leaved jonquilla narcissi[?] and its cultivars. Daffodils are the large trumpeted varieties of narcissi.

The varieties include:

• trumpet narcissi
• large-cupped narcissi
• small-cupped narcissi
• double daffodils
• Jonquilla Narcissi
• Tazetta (Poetaz or Bunch-flowered) Narcissi
• Poeticus (Poet's) Narcissi
• miniature narcissi
