Narcissus Nevadensis

Narcissus nevadensis is a rare Spanish trumpet daffodil from the Sierra Nevada and nearby mountains of Andalusia. Upright stems carry pale to clear yellow flowers with a long trumpet and broad, slightly twisted outer tepals. The species grows in wet meadows, stream margins and mountain clearings, making it less tolerant of summer drought during active growth than many Mediterranean narcissi. Its restricted distribution and declining habitats give cultivated seed conservation value. It is best naturalised in cool grass or an open woodland garden with steady spring moisture.
