Ceylon Large-cupped Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Ceylon’ is in Division 2. It stands 14 – 16 inches high and blooms in early to mid spring with flowers that face upward. The petals are yellow with slightly wavy edges. The orange corona is short and funnel shaped and lightly frilled with a straight mouth. 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.
