Kokopelli Jonquil

Narcissus ‘Kokopelli’ is in Division 7. This is a dwarf cultivar that stands only 5 – 8 inches high. It blooms in mid to late spring with 2 – 4 flowers on each stem. The flowers are 1 ½ inch wide with broad petals that give a rounded look. The petals are bright yellow and may be slightly reflexed. The cup is bowl shaped with a straight mouth. It open with green at the base, but matures to a darker shade of yellow than the petals. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits. Kokopelli is named for the Anasazi fertility god. 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.
