Facts About Daffodils
The Daffodil plant is a bulbous spring flowering perennial plant that signals the end of winter. It`s often referred to as Narcissus or Jonquil - a member of the Amaryllis family (in Latin - Amaryllidaceae).

Dwarf versions that grow to a height of 3 inches can also be found - Asturiensis. The leaves form from the base and usually number two , sometimes three.
