New Baby Jonquil
Narcissus ‘New Baby’ is in Division 7. It blooms very late in the spring with small flowers that are less than 1 inch wide and occur up to 4 per stem. The greenish white petals have a distinct point at the tip and separate as they spread outward. The corona is dark yellow and bowl shaped. 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.
