Narcissus ‘Elka’ is in Division 1. This is a dwarf cultivar that stands only 4 – 6 inches high and blooms very early in the season with star shaped flowers. Both the petals and the corona open pale yellow and become white as they mature. The corona is cylindrical with a slightly expanded 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.
