Daffodil Narcissus pseudonarcissus Amaryllidaceae (Amaryllis)
There are a number of species in the Narcissus genus which are commonly grown in gardens and referred to as daffodils. The iconic daffodil is yellow as shown to the right. However, there are color, size, and shape variations which provide gardeners with a range of choices to match various needs and preferences which may arise. Daffodils are typically planted as bulbs and not normally propagated from seed. Generally a very hardy plant, daffodils can be propagated by dividing bulbs every few years, thus allowing for a proliferation of plants from only a few bulbs over the course of several years. Daffodils range from six to thirty-six inches with most under two feet in height. Daffodils contain alkaloids which make them unpalatable to deer and rabbits and so they are generally considered deer and rabbit resistant or at least unlikely to be eaten by pesky critters. |
