GENUS: Narcissus
Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring flowering perennial plants of the amaryllis family. Narcissus has conspicuous flowers with six petal-like tepals surmounted by a cup (or trumpet shaped) corona.
The species are native to meadows and woods in southern Europe and North Africa.
Daffodils are best suited to cooler districts in the southern states of Australia. However for the Coffs Coast we can grow them quite successfully in pots in a cool spot.
