Narcissus Tazetta

All daffodils belong to the genus “Narcissus”, but most gardeners like to talk about Daffodils as being the larger flowered versions, while they call the ones with dinky little flowers Narcissi. In this case, you can definitely call all the Tazettas “Narcissi” because they have the teeny blooms borne in clusters on each stem. The famous Paperwhite Narcissus is one of the varieties that falls into the Narcissus Tazetta category. Apart from being great garden naturalizers, they make wonderful container plants, and those who crave a little gardening action in winter will enjoy “forcing” Tazetta Narcissus varieties for out of season flowers.
