The daffodils of this group are noted primarily for their scent: the most fragrant daffodils of the Narcissus genus are found in this division.

These daffodils are also floriferous; in other words, they normally produce more than one flower per stem. On average, a Jonquilla Daffodil will have two to six blossoms per stalk.

They are also known for being exceptionally durable. The bulbs naturalize (i.e. come back year after year, gradually multiplying) extremely well.

Unlike some daffodils, which prefer a cooler climate, Jonquils do very well in hot climates and appreciate a hot summer sun. However, the pink-cupped varieties should be planted in semi-shade or filtered sunlight to maintain their rosy cup colour.
