Botanical characteristics and determining visual assets
The genus Narcissus, belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, is renowned for its diversity and ornamental qualities. It includes between 50 and 70 botanical species, potentially more than 160 if subspecies and hybrids are included, as well as several thousand horticultural cultivars divided into 11 main classes. For professional cultivation in France, the species Narcissus pseudonarcissus (trumpet daffodil), often called the "common daffodil," is widely used.
Narcissus is characterized by basal, upright, linear foliage that emerges directly from the bulb. The leaves are narrow, elongated (typically measuring between 20 and 45 cm long and 0.5 to 2 cm wide depending on the variety), smooth and slightly fleshy, ranging in color from medium green to bluish green, sometimes tinged with gray-green (glaucous). The foliage appears before flowering, persists after flowering for 8 to 10 weeks , and plays a vital role in replenishing the bulb's reserves. Its condition is a key indicator of the plant's health.
The flowers are the main visual asset of the narcissus. They are usually composed of a central trumpet- or cup-shaped corona, surrounded by six tepals (petals). The majority of daffodils grown for cut flowers bear a single flower per stem, but some small-flowered species or cultivars may have several. The flowers vary in size from 5 to over 10 cm in diameter , borne on upright, hollow, unbranched flower stems, usually measuring 25 to 40 cm . The dominant colors are yellow and white for the tepals, the corona may be the same color or contrasted with shades of orange or salmon. Some varieties, notably Narcissus poeticus and jonquilla, have a pleasant fragrance, while others have little or no scent. The general habit of the plant at maturity is upright in a clump.
Horticultural classification and varietal selection
The diversity of the genus Narcissus offers professionals a wide range of choices, classified into distinct horticultural categories.
Single-flowered varieties for specialized production
Single-flowered daffodils bear a single flower per stem. Among them, Narcissus pseudonarcissus (trumpet daffodil) is emblematic, with its trumpet as long or longer than the tepals. Cultivars such as 'Golden Harvest' (used for forcing), 'Mount Hood' (single flower), or 'King Alfred' are references. Narcissus poeticus (poet's daffodil), often found in the wild in France, is distinguished by its smaller bulbs, its single flower with pure white tepals, and a corunula edged with orange-red. Cultivars such as 'Actaea' or 'Sarchedon' (for forcing) are examples. These varieties are known for their fragrance and are grown particularly around Grasse for perfumery.
Multifloral varieties and specialties
Multiflorous daffodils produce several flowers per stem. These include the large-cupped daffodil, which has a wide cup-shaped crown. The small-cupped daffodil has a cup measuring less than a third of the petal length, with a single flower per stem. There are also double-flowered daffodils for a greater visual impact. Triandus hybrids are smaller (20-30 cm) with several hanging flowers and recurved petals. Cyclamineus hybrids are interesting for public spaces because they tolerate moist soil better.
Varieties for perfumery
Three main varieties are used in perfumery: daffodil, tazetta and poeticus . Narcissus poeticus has a rich, green, intoxicating floral scent with notes of hay and honey, similar to honeyed jasmine but with warm notes of hay and a hint of tobacco.
Planting techniques and depth parameters
The success of narcissus cultivation depends largely on respecting the planting schedule and techniques.
Optimal planting schedule
The ideal time to plant daffodil bulbs in France is autumn, from September to November . Planting as early as September is recommended in regions with harsh winters to allow for good rooting before frost. October is often considered the optimal month throughout the country. Planting must be completed before the first frost as long as the soil is still loose. For forced crops, planting can begin as early as October.
Technical depths and spacings
Regarding planting depth, it depends on the size of the bulb. For large daffodils, a depth of about 15 cm is recommended . Small daffodils are planted about 8 cm deep . A general rule is to plant at a depth corresponding to twice the height or diameter of the bulb, although the daffodil is a notable exception, a 5 cm tall bulb requiring 15 cm of depth. The recommended spacing between bulbs is 10 to 15 cm . Bulbs should always be positioned point upwards. The use of a flat-bottomed bulb planter, allowing direct contact between the base of the bulb and the soil, is recommended. Immediate watering after planting is essential to ensure good contact between the bulb and the soil.
Cultivation conditions and maintenance protocols
Daffodils are relatively undemanding plants, but there are a few care conditions and practices that should be observed for optimal production.
Exposure and light requirements
A bright exposure of full sun to partial shade is optimal. Daffodils require abundant light for vibrant, abundant blooms. 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal for flower production. They can tolerate 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight, but this may reduce vigor. Dense shade should be avoided.
Water management and irrigation
Water requirements are moderate. The soil should be kept slightly moist during active growth (fall-winter and spring), but never soggy. Light watering is useful after planting for rooting. During flowering, regular, but not excessive, moisture is desirable. After flowering, watering should be reduced and almost nonexistent during summer dormancy to prevent bulb rot. Well-drained soil is essential.
Fertilization and amendments
Fertilization can optimize development. Incorporating organic amendments (compost, manure) before planting is beneficial. A fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus ( NPK 5-10-10, 30-40 g/m² ) can be applied at the beginning of growth. A supplementary supply of potash ( NPK 5-10-15, 20 g/m² ) 3-4 weeks before flowering is sometimes useful. After flowering, a fertilizer low in nitrogen but rich in phosphorus and potassium helps the bulb to replenish its reserves. Excess nitrogen should be avoided.
Mulching and winter protection
Mulching ( 3 to 5 cm of organic matter ) is recommended to maintain soil moisture, limit weeds and protect bulbs in winter in cold areas. A thicker layer (7-8 cm) can be added in regions with very harsh winters. The use of wintering fleeces can be considered in cases of exceptionally cold weather.
Routine maintenance and technical operations
Routine maintenance is relatively simple. Manual or mechanical weeding at the end of winter and before flowering (1 to 2 times/year) is recommended to limit competition. Removing faded flowers (effleurage) is important to avoid exhausting the bulb by seed production and to encourage storage. This operation must be done quickly after wilting, as close to the base as possible. It is crucial to let the foliage turn yellow naturally ( 6-8 weeks after flowering ) before cutting it to allow the bulb to store energy for the following year. Never cut the foliage while it is green and never tie or braid it, as this reduces photosynthesis. Systematic lifting is not necessary, as daffodils can remain in place for 3 to 5 years without loss of vigor . Uprooting every 4 to 5 years is recommended for commercial propagation and health management.
Growing in pots and under cover
For growing in pots or under cover, planting is done in the fall (September to November). An aerated and well-draining substrate is essential, ideally an enriched bulb soil (40%) with the addition of sand and clay balls at the bottom of the pot. Watering must be regular but not excessive during the growth phase (weekly indoors), reduced after flowering and during dormancy.
Flowering calendar and time management
Narcissus is a bulbous plant emblematic of spring. Its flowering period can last for several weeks, providing a long period of visual interest and production.
Early daffodils bloom from late February to March , taking advantage of the first signs of mild weather. Seasonal daffodils are the heart of the flowering period, from March to April . Finally, late daffodils can extend flowering until May, or even June for some varieties.
The average flowering time for an individual variety is 1 to 3 weeks (7 to 21 days) , usually about two to three weeks outdoors. Indoors (forcing), this time is shorter (1-2 weeks), but can be slightly extended in cool conditions. By combining early, seasonal, and late varieties, it is possible to achieve continuous flowering over several months, potentially up to five months with careful planning and the use of different exposures.
Applications in landscaping and plant associations
Narcissus is a popular choice for many professional landscapers due to its versatility and ability to naturalize.
Integration into flowerbeds and borders
It fits perfectly into flowerbeds, creating bright splashes of color from early spring. It combines well with other spring bulbs such as botanical tulips, grape hyacinths, or hyacinths. A planting density of 40 to 60 bulbs/m² is recommended for a mass effect. In borders, daffodils structure spaces and enhance flowerbeds with their upright habit. Botanical and small-sized varieties are ideal for rockeries, where their ability to naturalize and their tolerance for perfect drainage are assets. They are also suitable for light undergrowth and forest edges.
Capacity for naturalization
The naturalization capacity of the narcissus is remarkable. In fresh but well-drained soil, the bulbs multiply spontaneously and flower faithfully year after year. Clumps can double in size in 4 to 5 years without intervention. They are particularly suitable for naturalization in lawns or meadows that are rarely mowed, thus benefiting from a prolonged vegetative rest before mowing.
Optimized crop associations
For cultural associations, daffodils tolerate moderate root competition and work well with plants whose cycle intensifies after flowering, such as perennial geraniums, hostas, or ferns. In production, combining daffodils and tulips on alternating plots can optimize land use and health management. Indicative densities for associations are also 40 to 60 bulbs/m² , adjusted in proportion according to the associated species (e.g.: 1 daffodil for 1 to 2 tulips or 3 to 4 grape hyacinths).
History and use in perfumery
The genus Narcissus is native to Western Europe, extending from Spain and Portugal to France, Switzerland, and into northern Europe. In France, Narcissus pseudonarcissus is particularly widespread, especially in the Vosges, Alsace, and mid-mountain meadows. Narcissus poeticus is also abundant in mountain meadows.
Narcissus is cultivated for a variety of uses, including perfumery. Three main varieties have historically been used in this field: daffodil (Narcissus jonquilla), tazetta (Narcissus tazetta), and poeticus (Narcissus poeticus) . Narcissus poeticus is notably cultivated in flower farms around Grasse.
The sources consulted do not provide specific information on the etymology of the name "Narcissus" or its symbolism in a technical or historical context.
Ecological benefits and biodiversity
Narcissus contributes positively to biodiversity, particularly as an early source of resources for pollinators.
Its spring flowering ( March to May ) occurs at a time when floral resources are still limited, making it an asset for starting colonies of pollinating insects. The narcissus is a good source of nectar and pollen, particularly for honeybees (Apis mellifera) and solitary bees, of which there are more than 500 different species that can frequent this type of flower. Other pollinating insects such as hoverflies and potentially spring butterflies can also visit daffodils. Nectar and pollen are mainly accessible to bees with a proboscis large enough to reach floral reservoirs. Their integration into public spaces contributes to the maintenance of pollinating biodiversity.
Geographical origin and natural habitat
As mentioned earlier, the genus Narcissus originates from Western Europe, from Spain and Portugal to Northern Europe, including France and Switzerland.
Natural habitat and climatic requirements
Its natural habitat is varied but has some constants. The narcissus prefers a temperate climate with winters marked by prolonged cooling without frost, characteristic of mid-mountain areas or humid plains in central and western Europe. It tolerates wet springs and not too dry summers, although summer corresponds to its dormant period.
Altitudinal distribution
In terms of altitude, Narcissus pseudonarcissus is observed from the plain up to 2,000 m in France, while Narcissus poeticus and other mountain species can grow up to 2,300 m , favoring mid-mountain meadows and forest edges.
Biotope and edaphic requirements
Typical biotopes include wet (mesohydric) meadows, forest edges, coppices, roadsides, and hornbeam oak groves below 600 m. They often form dense colonies in undisturbed meadows and forests.
The soil requirements are specific: daffodils prefer relatively moist soils in spring but must be well-drained in summer. They thrive in soils rich in organic matter and neutral to slightly acidic.
Characteristics of the root system
The narcissus has an ovoid, tunicate-type bulb . This bulb is generally quite large, particularly that of Narcissus pseudonarcissus. Narcissus bulbs have a strong ability to readily produce bulbils through vegetative propagation, which allows them to form dense clumps over time. Each bulb can produce 2 to 3 new bulbs the following year, allowing for exponential growth. This prolificacy explains the need to divide clumps when they become too crowded to maintain vigor and flowering.
Hardiness and climate tolerance
The Narcissus genus is renowned for its very good hardiness, which makes it a suitable choice for most temperate climates, and therefore for professional cultivation in France.
The majority of species and cultivars are classified as hardy in USDA zones 3 to 8 , tolerating minimum temperatures of -40°C to -34°C (Zone 3). Specifically, daffodils can withstand intense winter frosts, generally down to -35°C , with an average tolerance between -30°C and -20°C (zones 4 to 6). Almost the entire French territory is therefore suitable for their cultivation, with the exception of extreme mountain areas or areas without the marked cold winter necessary for their dormancy cycle.
Life cycle and longevity
Narcissus is a perennial bulbous plant. This means that once planted, the bulbs remain in the ground and return to bloom each year without requiring annual replanting. Their hardiness allows them to survive the winter well in place.
Planting durability is notable: bulbs can remain in place for several years . The older they are (planted for a few seasons), the more floriferous they are. However, after 3 to 5 years generally, flowering tends to become less abundant. The annual cycle includes planting in autumn (September-November), winter dormancy, flowering (February-May), then a post-flowering phase where the foliage replenishes the bulb's reserves before yellowing and signaling the entry into summer dormancy. For optimal commercial production, it is advisable to renew the beds when flowering diminishes, or to dig up and divide the bulbs in the dormant phase if moving is necessary. Daffodils do not require special watering or fertilization in established cultivation, spring rains being often sufficient.
Multiplication techniques
The multiplication of Narcissus in professional cultivation favors the vegetative route, guaranteeing varietal fidelity.
Production and separation of bulbils
The most common method is the production and separation of bulbils. A mature bulb typically produces 1 to 3 bulbils per year , which reach flowering size in 2 to 5 years . Manual division of large bulbs is also practiced.
Twin-scaling technique
A faster technique is "twin-scaling" , which involves cutting the bulbs into segments to induce the production of multiple bulblets. With this method, 20 to 80 bulblets can be produced per bulb in one season, reaching replantable size in 1 to 2 years and flowering commercially in 2 to 5 years.
Propagation by sowing
Propagation by seed is rarely used commercially because it generates a large genetic variability, which is undesirable for standard horticultural varieties. A narcissus grown from seed takes on average 5 to 7 years to flower .
Technical characteristics and toxicity
Daffodils have important characteristics to know for their cultivation and marketing.
Toxicity and precautions
All parts of the narcissus (flowers, leaves, bulbs) are toxic to humans and animals , containing alkaloids such as lycorine. Ingestion, particularly of the bulbs, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and in severe cases, heart or nervous system problems. Even small amounts (a few grams of bulb) can cause digestive problems. In livestock, accidental ingestion can cause poisoning. ANSES and poison control centers report accidental poisonings, often due to confusion of the bulbs with onions.
Protected status and regulation
In France, some wild daffodil species, such as Narcissus poeticus in some regions, enjoy protected status. The marketing of cultivated horticultural varieties is generally not restricted.
Precautions in professional cultivation
Precautions are required in professional cultivation: handle bulbs with gloves to avoid contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. It is essential to inform customers (especially breeders) of the risks to livestock.
Another peculiarity: the sap of cut narcissus flowers is toxic to other flowers in the same vase, causing them to wilt quickly.
Cut flower assessment
Narcissus is an interesting species for cut flower production, with advantages and points of attention.
Commercial assets
Advantages include generally upright and rigid stems, facilitating handling and transport. Stem height is typically between 40 and 45 cm for large bowls. Flowers are of good size ( 8 to 10 cm in diameter for large bowls), with a variety of shapes. Vase life is good, about 10 days if the flowers are cut at the beginning of bloom. Varieties such as 'Golden Harvest', 'Mount Hood', 'King Alfred' (trumpet), 'Fortune', 'Passionale', 'Binkie', 'Home Fires' (large bowl) are suitable for cut flowers or forcing. The cultural advantage is the predictable flowering period (March-April) and uniform growth.
Limits and constraints
Limitations include stems that are sometimes less rigid depending on the variety, requiring support. Sensitivity to growing and storage conditions varies. A crucial point after harvest is the toxicity of the sap to other flowers in the vase, which may require specific post-harvest treatment. Some varieties may have a fragrance that is too strong for certain markets. Small crown and Triandus hybrids generally have shorter stems.
Yields in commercial production
The sources consulted discuss the relocation of daffodil production to France and mention production targets, but do not provide specific figures on the average yield (number of stems/flowering per m² or per bulb) in professional cultivation. The company Ernest Turc, the only bulb producer in France cited, aims to produce 1 million bulbs in three years, then 4 million thereafter . Some sources indicate that varieties can produce several flowers per stem (2 to 12 for small flowers, 3 or 4 for large ones).
To obtain accurate yield data, it would be necessary to consult direct producers, professional horticultural organizations or specialized agricultural research institutes.
Ability to force
Narcissus is a species that lends itself perfectly to forcing to obtain out-of-season flowering, a technique prized by professionals for winter marketing.
Preparing bulbs for forcing
The forcing technique involves preparing the bulbs. It is crucial to select specifically adapted varieties. Most varieties require a refrigeration period of approximately 6 weeks before forcing, with the notable exception of Tazetta daffodils.
Gravel method
The gravel method is simple: place bulbs on a layer of gravel in a waterproof container, partially cover with gravel, add water up to the base of the bulbs, and possibly charcoal to avoid stagnant water. The bulbs must then be kept in the dark (until they are 5-6 cm tall) and at a low temperature ( 10-12°C ), then gradually exposed to light and a higher temperature. The process requires several weeks of anticipation to obtain flowering in the middle of winter. Synchronization, especially with other species, can be a challenge.
Health and pest management
Growing daffodils, although relatively easy, is subject to certain pests and diseases requiring special vigilance.
Main pests
The main pest is the narcissus fly (Merodon equestris) , whose larvae eat the inside of the bulbs, causing them to die. Chemical control is limited. Technical measures include hot water treatment of infested bulbs (soaking at 42-44°C for 2 hours ), netting to prevent egg-laying after flowering, and early removal of infected bulbs to limit spread. Bulb and stem nematodes can also cause deformation and dieback.
Fungal and viral diseases
Among the diseases, the narcissus mosaic virus is widespread. Basal rot (sclerotinia) , a fungal disease, causes bulb rot.
Preventive measures
Preventive measures are essential: use certified healthy bulbs, practice crop rotation (see dedicated section), respect planting depths and spacing ( 15 cm deep, 15 to 20 cm apart ) for good aeration. Regular inspection of crops is recommended. In the event of a severe infestation, uprooting and disposal of affected bulbs is sometimes the only recourse.
Harvesting and storing bulbs
Post-bloom management is crucial to ensure the quality of bulbs for replanting or sale.
Harvesting techniques
Bulbs should be harvested after flowering, only when the foliage has completely yellowed and wilted. This stage, usually reached 6 to 8 weeks after the end of flowering , indicates that the bulb has accumulated its reserves. The bulbs are dug up gently so as not to damage them. The main bulbs should be separated from the bulblets; the larger bulbs will flower the following year, while the smaller ones will take several years. The bulbs should be brushed to remove the soil, but avoid washing them.
Storage conditions
Storage should be carried out in a dry, ventilated and dark place, ideally between 15 and 20°C . The bulbs should be arranged in thin layers in ventilated containers (crates, nets) to avoid overcrowding and limit the risk of disease. Regular inspection allows the removal of damaged or rotten bulbs. Storage lasts from a few weeks to several months before replanting in the fall. Do not extend storage excessively to avoid drying out or loss of germination.
Seed harvesting
Seed harvesting is rare in professional cultivation and reserved for varietal creation, because it takes 5 to 7 years to obtain flowering . The seeds are harvested in summer when the capsules are ripe.
Crop rotation
The integration of daffodils into a crop rotation system is an essential technical practice for the sustainability and health of professional crops.
Recommended rotation cycle
It is recommended not to grow the same species on a plot for at least 3 years , which corresponds to a rotation of 4 years in total . This duration helps to limit health risks (accumulation of specific pathogens and pests in the soil) and the development of weeds.
Regulatory compliance
The CAP BCAE 7 standard requires beneficiary farmers to comply with an annual criterion (different main crop on at least 35% of arable land) and a multi-annual criterion (variation of crops over 4 years).
Strategic advantages
Daffodils are unattractive to rodents due to their toxicity, and can be used strategically alongside other, more sensitive bulbs (such as tulips) to deter them. Their low watering and fertilization requirements once established make them easy to incorporate into rotation. To preserve the vitality of the bulbs, allow the foliage to yellow naturally after flowering and remove spent flowers to prevent seed production.
Adaptations to climatic hazards
Although hardy, daffodils may require specific cultural adjustments in the event of prolonged drought or very harsh winters.
Drought Management
In the event of prolonged drought, watering becomes imperative. Water applications must be spaced out but generous to reach the bulbs deep down, thus avoiding water stress without creating excess surface moisture. Maintaining foliage after flowering is even more important for replenishing reserves. Mulching helps retain soil moisture. A moderate application of phosphorus-calcium fertilizer after flowering can support the bulbs.
Reinforced winter protection
In very harsh winters, planting bulbs deeper (up to 15 cm ) provides better protection from severe frost. Adding a protective mulch enhances the soil's thermal insulation. Choosing varieties known for their high resistance to cold is a key factor. Ensuring excellent drainage is crucial to prevent stagnant water from freezing around the bulbs, causing them to rot.
Need for vernalization
Yes, daffodils absolutely require a vernalization period (exposure to cold) to induce flowering. This is a physiological process essential to their spring cycle.
This requirement explains why autumn planting is crucial (September to November), allowing the bulbs to naturally undergo the winter cold necessary for their floral development. Good vernalization ensures optimal flowering of 2 to 3 weeks per plant . Older bulbs, having benefited from several cold cycles, are more floriferous. In professional cultivation, controlling this vernalization (via staggered planting or by forcing with prior refrigeration) allows flowering to be spread over several months.
Health assessment and deficiency detection
Assessing the health of daffodils is essential for quality production. Several visual and physiological indicators can help detect potential problems.
Visual health indicators
Healthy foliage is vigorous, upright, and uniformly green. Premature yellowing (before 6 to 8 weeks post-flowering), paleness, or mottling may indicate deficiency (nitrogen, potassium) or water stress. Optimal flowering is indicated by well-formed flowers on sturdy stems ( 25 to 45 cm for N. pseudonarcissus ). Absent or malformed flowers may indicate excess nitrogen or potassium/phosphorus deficiency. A healthy bulb is firm, without soft spots or rot, with white, well-developed roots. A soft or discolored bulb may be a sign of water stress or fungal infection.
Physiological indicators
At the physiological level, good root growth (white, fleshy roots) and bulb vigor (uniform size, ideally > 10-12 cm in circumference for guaranteed flowering) are key indicators.
Detection of specific deficiencies
Deficiencies are detected by observing the foliage: pale yellowing for nitrogen, browning leaf edges for potassium, dull foliage and scanty flowering for phosphorus. Water stress softens the foliage and shortens flowering. Excess water causes bulb rot and roots to turn black. Growth heterogeneity in a plot can also be a warning sign.
Technical monitoring
Regular soil analyses (NPK, pH) and moisture monitoring complement visual monitoring. Practices such as appropriate fertilization (limiting excess phosphates) and effective drainage reduce risks.
Frequency of renewal and influence of caliber
Daffodils are durable in place, with the bulbs becoming more floriferous with age. However, to maintain optimal professional production, periodic division is recommended.
Renewal management
The division of clumps is generally carried out in the autumn, every 3 to 4 years , when the density of the existing bulbs becomes too high and flowering begins to decrease. This operation allows the bulbs to be rejuvenated and the commercial stock to be increased. The technique consists of digging up the bulbs after the foliage has completely dried, carefully separating the bulblets and replanting them.
Impact of caliber on production
The size of the bulbs has a direct and significant influence on their vigor and flowering from the first year of planting.
- Large sizes (e.g. 12/14 cm circumference and above ) are those that guarantee the best commercial result, generally producing 2 to 3 flower stems .
- Medium sizes (e.g. 10/12 cm ) typically produce 1 to 2 flower stems .
- Smaller sizes and cloves (less than 10 cm) often require 1 to 2 years of additional growth before reaching the size and vigor necessary for abundant and marketable flowering.
