Description
Narcissus triandrus is a bulbous perennial plant. The bulbs of this species are small and dark in colour. Bulbs lay dormant in the soil for the majority of the year until emerging in the Spring. A single bulb usually produces two leaves each that can grow to a length of 20 cm (7.9 in) long by 4–5 mm wide. Leaves are keeled, striate on their surface and sometimes coiled at the tip. Stems of the species are 30 cm (12 in) tall, thick, tubular, and almost waxy on their outer side. Stems can hold from one to six cup-shaped flowers, which are milk white or pale yellow in colour.
