Other names for the daffodil

The daffodil is also called yellow narcissus or trumpet narcissus.

Growing habits of the daffodil

The growing habits of the daffodil are actually quite interesting: in winter it likes a moist environment, while in summer it prefers a dry and hot environment. So when growing daffodils, you need to keep the water supply sufficient during its main growing period.

The daffodil does not have a very high demand for light. Apart from needing plenty of light while the leaves are growing, it needs semi-shade when it is in bloom.

The daffodil likes loose, fertile soil with good drainage, and the soil is best if it is slightly alkaline and rich in humus.

The uses of the daffodil

Actually, the daffodil's main use is ornamental; its beautiful flowers are its greatest ornamental value.

The daffodil generally blooms in winter and spring. Its flowers are beautiful, and it is suitable for pot cultivation, for decorating the home, or for growing in flower beds and at the edges of ponds, where it also looks very good.
