Hawera Triandrus Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Hawera’ is in Division 5. It stands only 5 – 6 inches high and blooms in mid to late spring. Each stem bears 6 - 8 fragrant flowers. The petals are pale yellow and reflexed, overlapping at the base only. There is a distinctive point at the tip of each petal. The cup is a paler yellow, broad and shallow. Hawera is hardy in zones 4 – 9. It was named for a town on the North Island of New Zealand. 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.
