Supreme Empire Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Supreme Empire’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid season with roundish flowers. The petals are pure white, very broad and reflexed. The corona is a deep reddish pink and very broad with a frilled 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.
