Suzy Jonquil
Narcissus ‘Suzy’ is in Division 7. It blooms in mid to late spring with 2 – 3 flowers on each stem. The flowers are 2 ½ inches wide and scented. The petals are bright yellow while the corona is bright orange and bowl shaped with an expanded mouth. 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.
