DAFFODIL CLASSIFICATION
 | Division 1 – Trumpet daffodil cultivars One flower to a stem; trumpets are as long as, or longer than the petals. E.g. King Alfred, Barnum, Pink Silk |
 | Division 2 – Large-cupped daffodil cultivars One flower to a stem; cup is more than one-third but less than equal to the length of the petals. E.g. Rainbow, Pink Charm, St. Patrick’s Day |
 | Division 3 – Small-cupped daffodil cultivars One flower to a stem; cup is not more than one-third the length of the petals. E.g. Polar Ice, Merlin, Barrett Browning |
 | Division 4 – Double daffodil cultivars One or more flowers to a stem, with doubling of the petals or trumpet or both. E.g. Tahiti, Rip Van Winkle, Ice King |
 | Division 5 – Triandrus daffodil cultivars Two or more pendant flowers to a stem; the petals are reflexed (swept back). E.g. Hawera, Ice Wings, Thalia |
 | Division 6 – Cyclamineus daffodil cultivars The characteristics of these daffodils are clearly evident. One flower to a stem, the petals are significantly reflexed and the flowers are an acute angle to the stem, with a very short neck. E.g. February Gold, Jack Snipe, Little Witch |
 | Division 7 – Jonquilla and Apodanthus daffodil cultivars One to five (rarely eight) flowers to a stem. The petals are spreading or reflexed. The trumpets are cup-shaped, funnel-shaped, or flared and usually wider than long. Usually fragrant. E.g. Jonquilla Baby Moon, Kedron, Sweet Smiles |
 | Division 8 – Tazetta daffodil cultivars Three to twenty flowers to a stout stem. The petals are spreading and not reflexed. Usually fragrant. E.g. Minnow, Avalanche, Silver Chimes |
 | Division 9 – Poeticus daffodil cultivars Usually one flower to a stem. The petals are pure white and the trumpet is very short or disc shaped, usually with a green and/or yellow centre and a red rim, but sometimes of a single colour. Usually fragrant. E.g. Actea |
| Division 11 – Split corona daffodil cultivars Trumpet split; usually for more than half its length. There are two sub divisions, Collar and Papillon. | |
 | Collar daffodil Split-trumpet with the trumpet segments opposite the petal segments: the trumpet segments usually in two whorls of three. E.g. Pentire, Belcanto |
 | Papillon daffodil Split-trumpet daffodils with the trumpet segments alternate to the petal segments; the corona segments usually in a single whorl of six. E.g. Papillon Blanc |
| NB The characteristics for Divisions 5 to 9 are given for guidance only: they are not all necessarily expected to be present in every cultivar assigned to those divisions. |
