Detailed Information

Narcissus ‘Blushing Lady’ is a hybrid cultivar, meaning it was created through crossbreeding. Its parentage is not specifically documented. However, since it’s a Jonquilla Narcissus, we can trace its likely origins to those of the Jonquilla species.

Jonquilla Narcissus (Narcissus jonquilla) is native to **Spain and Portugal**. Therefore, while ‘Blushing Lady’ is a hybrid and not a pure species, it’s likely that its genetic ancestry traces back to the Iberian Peninsula, especially Spain and Portugal. It is commonly cultivated in gardens across various regions, but its *native* roots are in the Iberian Peninsula.
