Rijnvelds Early Sensation Trumpet Daffodil
In the spring you'll see beautiful flowers called Narcissus. The name Narcissus 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 in his memory.
Narcissus ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’ is in Division 1. This is a dwarf cultivar that blooms very early in the spring with 3½ flowers. The petals are a greenish yellow and the corona is a deeper tone than the petals and funnel shaped with an expanded mouth. One of the few daffodils resistant to Fusarium Basal Rot, a disease prevalent in the many garden soils. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits.
