Narcissus is Amaryllidaceae perennial herb. About 30 species in the world, the main origin in the Mediterranean coast and Central Europe, North Africa and other regions, 800 BC, in ancient Greek literature has been recorded.

At that time, there were only 24 narcissus species recorded in England in the 16th century. In the 17th century, some people from Europe, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, North Africa and other places to collect varieties for artificial cultivation. At the beginning of 19th century, the horticulturalists in England, Holland and other countries carried out a lot of artificial hybridization and breeding work. At present there are about 20,000 species registered in the Royal Society of Horticulture in the United Kingdom. The Netherlands is the main birth of the current world narcissus bulbs
