Narcissus calcicola is a plant from the genus of narcissus in the family of Amaryllidaceae family (Amaryllidaceae). Botanically it isassigned to the Apodanthae sectionaccording to John W. Blanchard .
Appearance
Narcissus calcicola grows as a perennial herbaceous plant and reaches heights of about 30 centimeters. A clump with up to five bright yellow flowers sits on the inflorescence stem. These are similar to those of Narcissus scaberulus . The edges of the secondary crown are only slightly jagged; the secondary crown is directed outwards in the shape of a cup.
Distribution area
Narcissus calcicola is only native to two places in Portugal , namely the Serra dos Candeeiros and the Serra da Arrábida . The name of the daffodil calcicola indicates that it prefers to grow on limestone soils. Walter Erhardt found the bulbs of this type of daffodil in very humus-rich places in this region.
Narcissus calcicola is a type of daffodil that is rarely cultivated. In Central Europe a cold house is required for this. It blooms there from February to March.
