Pipit Jonquil
Narcissus ‘Pipit’ is in Division 7. It blooms in mid season with 2 or 3 flowers on each stem. The flowers are 2¾ inch wide with pale yellow petals which fade to white at the base. The short, funnel-shaped corona opens pale yellow and fades to white. 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.
