Narcissus 'Jetfire' is a cyclamineus daffodil, reaching 8 to 10 inches in height. It produces bright yellow petals that are strongly reflexed, surrounding a bold orange-red trumpet, creating a striking contrast. The blooms appear in early to mid-spring and are lightly fragrant, making them excellent for borders, containers, and naturalized plantings. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Jetfire' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. It naturalizes well, forming expanding clusters over time. This variety has won the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 to 6 inches deep and 3 to 5 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils are ideal for naturalizing in meadows, rock gardens, and woodland edges.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Many species thrive under deciduous trees where spring light is abundant.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0).
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, depending on species. Most require a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps every 4 to 6 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
