Intro: for 1943. Division 6. Originated by crossing N. 'Mitylene' x N. cyclamineus, cultivated by Mr Cyril F. Coleman (1892-1980). From this cross also arose N. 'Charity May' and N. 'Dove Wings', three Daffodils that quickly became well known and more widely grown at the time. Jenny has perfectly shaped, creamy white flowers whose petals are strongly curved backwards. A long-flowering daffodil and fine for naturalising.

BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF AMARYLLIDACEAE
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.
