The Daffodil or Narcissus 'Jet Fire' is a botanical mini daffodil, with an early and extended flowering season, as well as a subtle fragrance. It offers charming small bright yellow flowers adorned with a small orange trumpet, full of pep. It is multiflorous, with each stem carrying 2 to 3 flowers. The foliage is sparse; the flowering, very early, begins in February-March, and lasts for several weeks. It is an easy plant to grow in well-drained, neutral soil. Dwarf varieties are ideal for rockeries and containers.
The 'Jet Fire' Narcissus belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. The Narcissus genus includes about 50 species mainly found in Western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. The cyclamineus species, from which it originates, is native to northwest Portugal and northwest Spain, and owes its name to its outer petals that form a fully reflexed corolla, like cyclamens. This characteristic is often greatly reduced in its hybrid descendants.
The 'Jet Fire' daffodil, closely related to this species, is an American horticultural creation dating back to 1966 and has won several awards, notably from the Royal Horticultural Society in England. It is a small, vigorous and reliable plant that reaches about 15 cm (6in) in height for foliage, 25 cm (10in) when in flower. Its flowers, slightly fragrant and beautifully bi-coloured, are composed of a corolla with slightly reflexed petals, a very bright yellow colour, on which a fairly short, slightly undulate corolla is inserted, of a bright orange sometimes tinged with red. It is a very early flowering plant that naturalises in the garden within 3 or 4 years through bulbil production.
The 'Jet Fire' Daffodil is undemanding and grows well in any well-drained and loosened soil, but results are worse in soils that are too moist, especially in summer, or excessively acidic. There is such a choice of varieties among daffodils that you can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting tired. They have in common the ability to naturalise easily, love for yellow and white, and often emit sweet fragrances. These are all reasons to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a multiplied effect. Combine the 'Jet Fire' daffodil, in natural-looking flower beds and rockeries, with squills, crocuses, and hyacinths, accompany them with early-flowering botanical tulips as well as forget-me-nots, pansies, or liverworts. In pots, this daffodil is also perfect.
Jonquil or Daffodil? Botanically speaking, jonquils are part of the daffodil family. They have flowers grouped in twos or more, and their corolla forms a campanulate trumpet longer than it is wide. The botanical species have the charm of wild plants and thrive in rockeries: N.bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N.juncifolius, N.pseudonarcissus, the simple wood jonquil, are among the prettiest. For bouquets, we advise not to mix daffodils with other flowers such as tulips, as the stems of daffodils contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect on other flower types can be reduced by dipping the ends of daffodil stems in warm water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Botanical data
Narcissus flowers from March to May and returns every year. Very easy to grow, they adapt well to the shade of a woodland as well as a sunny flower bed. Plant them 10 cm (4in) deep and 10 cm (4in) apart. Group them in minimum clusters of 5 bulbs, in uniform colours or mixed. You can plant them in a short grass meadow. In this case, lift the grass sod, dig and loosen the soil to at least 20 cm (8in) (the depth of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil and replace the sod. Choose a place where you won't mow, as it's necessary to let the narcissus leaves wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb regenerates and prepares the flowers for the following year. However, remember to cut the flowers as soon as they fade to prevent seed formation. This would unnecessarily exhaust the bulb.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
