Sweetness Jonquil

Narcissus ‘Sweetness’ is in Division 7. It blooms in mid spring, occasionally with 2 flowers on a stem. The flowers are 2½ inches wide and scented. The corona is darker than the petals and cup shaped with a straight 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.
