Sweet Harmony Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Sweet Harmony’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid spring with 4¼ inch flowers. The petals are greenish yellow and very broad, giving the flower a somewhat roundish appearance. The corona is white at the base, blending into orangey yellow at the 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.
