Ice King Double Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Ice King’ is in Division 4. It blooms in mid spring with double flowers. The petals are ivory white and arranged in multiple whorls. The corona is yellow with a broad band of white at the rim. The inner whorls of petals are clustered within it. 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.
