Detailed Information

Daffodils, including Narcissus ‘Lavender Bell’, are native to the **Mediterranean region and parts of Europe.**

Specifically, the genus *Narcissus* has its center of diversity in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). While cultivated varieties like ‘Lavender Bell’ are bred hybrids, their genetic ancestry traces back to these wild daffodil species found in:

* **Southwestern Europe:** Iberian Peninsula, France, Italy
* **North Africa:** Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia

Therefore, although you wouldn’t find ‘Lavender Bell’ growing wild, its genetic origins are firmly rooted in the Mediterranean and European regions.
