• Perennial bulbous plant
• Decorative, fragrant plant
• Blooms: May.

The Poetic Narcissus is one of the oldest daffodil species cultivated in Europe, distinguished by its white petals and small yellow-red corolla. It has long been valued for its elegant appearance and strong fragrance.

In the gardens of monasteries and manors, daffodils were planted in spring flower beds and along paths. They symbolized spring renewal and were considered refined decorative flowers.

In rural homesteads, poetic daffodils often grew near houses or on the outskirts of nurseries, along with tulips and snowdrops.

In urban areas, it is used in parks and public flower beds as one of the most important spring plants.

Today, the poetic narcissus continues to be valued for its classic beauty and fragrance.
