Species Details
Pheasant’s-eye Daffodil is a newly established perennial of waysides and rough grassland. Recent records are from the Miller’s Dale area (SK1373) and near Sandiacre (SK4834). This native of southern Europe is grown in gardens, from where rejects probably account for the plants seen in more natural sites.
