Madison Double Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Madison’ is in Division 4. It blooms in mid to late spring with double flowers that have a roundish look. The petals are white and very broad and arranged in several whorls. The corona segments are bright yellow orange with a band of creamier yellow at the rim. The corona segments are clustered at the center. 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.
