Bright and cheerful and a real summer favourite, Daffodils are a very popular cut flower, daffodils, and the early flowering jonquils bring colour and scent to cold winter days. Interestingly, while daffodils do not make the top 10 cut flowers, they are the tenth most popular pot plant in Holland, and potted mini daffodils (like ‘Jetfire’) are very popular in Australia as well.
Daffodils, jonquils and the less well known varieties are often grouped together as ‘Narcissus’ which is the Genus name. The large yellow daffodils like ‘King Alfred’ are still the most popular, but other forms now come in white, cream, pink and pale orange, or a combination of two of these colours. The flowers have a large trumpet, or corona, surrounded by petals. Daffodils tend to have one flower per stem, jonquils, Paperwhite, Earlycheer have several. All forms, except daffodils have a strong scent.
These flowers produce a toxic sap that can kill other flowers, such as roses, carnations, freesias and tulips. To avoid this, do not combine narcissus with other flowers immediately after stem ends are cut (see below). The sap can also cause allergic reactions in some people – so wear gloves when handling.
Narcissus are all grown from bulbs in the field. In Australia they are grown in hilly, cool regions, such as the Dandenongs and Gippsland (Vic) and Dural (NSW) as well as in Tasmania.
