List of Award of Garden Merit narcissus

Below is a selected list of Narcissus species, varieties and cultivars which have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM). Narcissus (daffodils) are bulbous perennials which are usually planted as dry bulbs in autumn (fall) to flower the following spring. Once established they flower reliably every year, with variously trumpet-shaped flowers in a range of colours, mostly shades of white and yellow. The central trumpet (corona) and the outer 'petals' (perianth segments) often have contrasting colours. Breeders have produced a huge range of sizes and shapes in these flowers, which are among the most popular of all plants in cultivation.

Divisions

Plants are grouped by the RHS into 13 divisions, each describing a particular growth habit and flower shape. All are of garden origin except group 13.[1]

  2. Large-cupped Daffodil cultivars: corona shorter than perianth
  3. Small-cupped Daffodil cultivars: corona less than ⅓ of the length of the perianth
  4. Double flowered Daffodil cultivars
  5. Triandrus Daffodil cultivars: reflexed perianth, short corona
  6. Cyclamineus Daffodil cultivars: angled flowers, reflexed perianth, long corona
  7. Jonquilla and Apodanthus Daffodil cultivars: scented, late-flowering, shallow cupped
  8. Tazetta Daffodil cultivars: multiple flowers, scented, autumn-spring flowering
  9. Poeticus Daffodil cultivars: scented, white perianth, small corona
  10. Bulbocodium Daffodil cultivars: large corona, small perianth
  11. (a) Split-corona Daffodil cultivars: Collar (b) Split-corona: Papillon
  12. Other Daffodil cultivars
  13. Daffodils distinguished solely by botanical name: all wild Narcissus species (including hybrids distinguished solely by botanical name)
