Daffodils form a group of large-flowered members of the genus Narcissus. Most daffodils look yellow, but yellow-and-white, yellow-and-orange, white-and-orange, pink, and lime-green cultivars also exist. Daffodils grow perennially from bulbs.
In temperate climates they flower among the earliest blooms in spring: to this extent daffodils both represent and herald spring. They often grow in large clusters, covering lawns and even entire hillsides with yellow.
The daffodil serves the national flower of Wales. One species, Narcissus obvallaris, grows only in a small area around Tenby. In the language of flowers, daffodils signify chivalry and/or respect.
Mulch is only required for the coldest zones. Plant 4" deep and 6" apart where it should receive full sun and partial afternoon shade. Introduced 1983 - P.Q.M. Pennings.
