The article presents the results of the study of 16 varieties of the genus Narcissus L., from an ecological and ornamental point of view. In the 3 consecutive years (2021, 2022, 2023), measurements were made on the plant height (H), flower diameter (ϴ); the duration of the flowering period (days) was determined. Narcissus cyclamineus 'Tete-a-Tete' recorded the lowest average height (15 cm), but also the smallest average calyx diameter (3 cm). Narcissus poeticus 'Sinopel', Narcissus poeticus 'Recurvus' and Narcissus tazetta 'Martinette' had heights ranging between 33 cm and 35 cm. The duration of the flowering phase varied on average from 7 days for 'Martinette' to 18 days for 'Tete-a-Tete'. The following varieties stood out for their cup diameter (between 8 and 12 cm) and the beauty of their flowers: 'Tickled Pinkeen'; 'Kedron'; 'Gay Kybo'; 'Czardas'; 'Samantha', 'Sovereign', 'Geneve', 'Pink Charm'. Phenological observations showed that the flowering time for all the studied varieties depends on meteorological parameters and the category in which they are classified. Varieties with small flowers were used in seasonal floral compositions and in traditional ceramic vases. Varieties with large and beautifully shaped flowers, unicolor or bicolor, strong peduncles, pleasant aroma were introduced into floral arrangements in elegant vases.
