Jetfire Cyclamineus Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Jetfire’ is in Division 6. It stands 12 inches tall and blooms in early to mid spring with 3 inch flowers. The petals are bright yellow and strongly reflexed. The corona is bright orange and cylindrical. There is a constriction near the mouth of the corona although the mouth itself is slightly expanded. 'Jetfire' is great for containers and forcing into early indoor bloom. 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.
