Large-cupped Daffodil (Narcissus 'Chromacolor')
Narcissus ‘Chromacolor’ is a hybrid cultivar, meaning it’s a cultivated variety bred by humans. Therefore, it doesn’t have a single, specific native region in the same way a wild species does.
However, we can infer its ancestral origins from the species used in its breeding:
* **Narcissus species are primarily native to the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the western Mediterranean region (including France, Italy, and North Africa), and to a lesser extent, Central Europe and the Balkans.**
Given the “large-cupped” classification, likely several Narcissus species from the Iberian Peninsula or Western Mediterranean were involved in its development.
**In summary:** While ‘Chromacolor’ itself has no native region, its genetic ancestry points to the **Iberian Peninsula and the western Mediterranean** as the likely region where its parent species originated. It would have been developed in a nursery or garden, likely in Europe or North America.
