Petals are slightly reflexed,[5] creating a creased appearance with wavy margins that overlap about one-third of their length.

Mitsch had previously bred other species such as Gladiolus, however during a visit to a local horticulturists garden in 1931 he saw Narcissus such as 'King Alfred' and became smitten with the genus.

Mitsch began purchasing and breeding Narcissus from the 1930s onward, where he made his livelihood growing and selling various plant species.

[4] By the early 2000s Narcissus 'Jetfire' had become one of the world's most popular dwarf daffodil cultivars with great economic importance.

[8] To achieve optimal flowering results, it is recommended to plant the bulbs at a depth two to three times their own size.

[3] After the daffodil has completed its flowering cycle, it is important to refrain from cutting back the foliage until it has fully withered.

The leaves play a crucial role in generating nutrients that are transported down into the bulb, supporting next year's growth and flower production.

[8] Narcissus 'Jetfire' possesses a complex family tree, involving hybridization between various cultivars and species.

These cultivars descended from or were then bred with the Narcissus species: N. abscissus, N. bicolor, N. cyclamineus, N. hispanicus, N. poeticus and N. pseudonarcissus.

The result is a complex family tree with both cultivars and species present within the ancestry of Narcissus 'Jetfire'.
