Narcissus Species

Narcissus Species – Nature’s Timeless Heralds of Spring

Among the earliest to stir from winter’s slumber, the wild species of Narcissus hold a special place in the hearts of gardeners and plant collectors alike. Unlike their flamboyant hybrid cousins, these species daffodils possess a quiet charm – delicate, often fragrant, and steeped in history. Native to the hillsides and meadows of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, many have naturalised gracefully in British gardens, where their resilience and character continue to delight.

Whether you seek to create a more naturalistic planting or are building a collection of the true species, Narcissus in its purest form is a joy to grow. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or light shade, and let them reward you, year after year, with their gentle beauty and quiet resilience.
