Description

Jonquil, also known as rush daffodil, is a bulbous flowering plant native to eastern Europe. Although this plant is in the same family as common daffodils, an outstanding characteristic is that the smaller yellow or white flowers sprout and bloom in clusters, not individually. These flowers contain around 6 outer petals and a long trumpet shaped center.

For Your Pet

Jonquils contain a poisonous substance called lycorine which is a toxic crystalline alkaloid. If your rabbit eats a Jonquil, they may experience severe nausea and gastrointestinal pain, however most rabbits tend to stay away from Jonquils if they have a well balanced diet.

Warning

Do not feed your pet Jonquils as it can cause serious illness.
