Bloom early to mid season with large flowers. Good for rock gardens, borders and niches. Naturalize well and come in a wide variety of smaller sized flowers. Ali Baba, Compostella and Linifolia. There are twelve different divisions of Daffodils determined by their physical characteristics and family tree or genetic background.
Some varieties fall clearly into one division, other seem to fit in more than one.
The following is a list of the divisions with a brief description, along with examples of daffodils locally available. Trumpet Daffodils have one flower to a stem and the trumpet is as long or longer than the petal segments. They are probably the best daffs for bedding and make an excellent cut flower. King Alfred and Mount Hood Large-Cupped Daffodils have one flower to a stem but the cup is smaller and wider. They are good for bedding, picking, naturalizing and forcing.
