Polar Ice Small-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Polar Ice’ is in Division 1. It blooms in mid to late season with roundish white flowers. The petals are broad and white and the white corona is flared at the rim. 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.
