Narcissus viridiflora

Native to the southern Iberian Peninsula (Andalusia) and northern Morocco, Narcissus viridiflorus is unique among daffodils for its olive-green flowers. Its one or two slender, rush-like leaves remain present during flowering. Around the autumn equinox, the stem bears up to five star-shaped flowers with six narrow, swept-back tepals, opening at night and releasing an intense fragrance to attract nocturnal pollinators. The plant is summer-dormant. It requires well-drained soil, full sun, and a Mediterranean-type climate with a dry summer.
