Although the daffodil is sometimes known as the Easter lily, it is actually a member of the Amaryllidaceae (the plant family that also includes snowdrops) and hence is not a true lily.
Why are daffodils called Easter lily?
The history behind this flower doesn’t just end with the Easter celebration. Legend has it that the first-ever daffodil to grow was in the garden of Gethsemane, which comforted Jesus before his arrest and crucifixion. The English call Daffodils Lenten Lilies because they bloom during Lent.
Are daffodils Easter flowers?
Lilies, daffodils, tulips, azaleas and hyacinths are common varieties of Easter plants. Each of these flowers can be planted outdoors and will thrive summer to summer. The key is knowing when to plant them.
