Cassata Collar Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Cassata’ is in Division 11a. It blooms in early to mid spring with 4 inch flowers which have a mild fragrance. The petals are white and reflexed. The corona is split into 6 segments which closely overlay the petals, forming a ‘collar’ around the center of the flower. The corona segments open greenish yellow but mature to white. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits. The name Narcissus comes from the Greek word for narcotic and is tied to the myth of a young man known as Narcissus who fell in love with his own reflection. When he drowned in the pool where he had been admiring himself, Narcissus flowers grew up around the pool.
