What distinction may be made between daffodils and narcissus? Do they differ or are they the same? What should I do with them once they have done blooming?
In response, all daffodils belong to the genus Narcissus. The popular names people use for the garden varieties of this genus are jonquils and daffodils. Daffodil, then, is the scientific term for ALL plants that belong to the genus Narcissus. So, if the plant is regarded as a Narcissus, it is also regarded as a daffodil.
The genus Narcissus has several dozen different species of daffodils. They are indigenous to Europe, North Africa, Australia, and Japan. These are the forerunners of the majority of contemporary cultivars that are planted in gardens throughout the temperate world.
In the northern hemisphere, narcissus bulbs primarily blossom in late winter and early spring. They are common in meadows, abandoned dwellings, road sides, wooded areas, and river banks and are easily naturalized. Patches could persist decades or longer.
