Stratosphere Jonquil
Narcissus ‘Stratosphere’ is in Division 7. It blooms in mid to late season with 1-3 flowers on each stem. The flowers are 2½ inches wide flowers and scented. The petals are golden yellow and broad with a small point at the tip. The bowl shaped corona is a strong yellow orange. 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.
