Status:

Daffodil species have long been popular garden plants. The plants naturalize locally and persist at old home sites for decades. Patches of daffodils may be found in woods or at the edges of fields and roadways throughout Maryland. Daffodils have also naturalized in floodplains where they may be dispersed by flood waters.

Several species and cultivars of Narcissus have escaped into the wild in Maryland. Narcissus pseudonarcissus is among the most wide-spread but there are also many suspected hybrids (which are best treated as Narcissus sp.).

There are 48 records in the project database.
