In wild populations, it is not unusual to find different flower forms within a same group. This double-flowered N. pseudonarcissus was found in this way. As early as the 17th century, various double- and filled-flowered N. pseudonarcissus were described and given lovely names such as ‘Gerard’s Double Daffodil’ and ‘The English Double Daffodil’.

The distribution area is large, namely: Southern, Central, and Western Europe, North Africa, China, Japan, and scattered areas in Southwest Asia. However, the vast majority are found in Spain and Portugal.
The name 'Narcissus' is derived from the Greek verb 'narkaoo', which means to numb or to stun. The scent of narcissus was formerly considered numbing or sleep-inducing. The range has arisen from a colorful interplay of wild forms, modern varieties, and historical cultivars. The old varieties, in particular, have a strong fragrance and naturalize well, as they have proven. Especially with modern cultivars, the flowers are more colorfast and have a more perfect shape.
