Detailed Information

The Miniature Jonquilla Daffodil (Narcissus ‘Pipit’) is a hybrid, so it doesn’t have a single “native region” in the same way a wild species would. Its parentage comes from species within the *Narcissus* genus, specifically those belonging to the Jonquilla group.

Therefore, to understand its likely geographical roots, we need to look at the native distribution of Jonquilla daffodils:

* **Jonquilla daffodils are primarily native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and parts of Southwest France.**

‘Pipit’ has been hybridized for garden use, and it is now grown worldwide, but the likely geographical regions of origin of its traits and characteristics are Spain, Portugal, and Southwest France.
