Cragford Tazetta Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Cragford’ is in Division 8. It is 14 – 16 inches high and blooms in early to mid spring with 4 to 6 blooms on each stem. The flowers are 2 inches wide and have a delightful fragrance. The petals are white with small points on the tips and edges that are slightly curled inwards. The reddish orange corona is shallow and bowl shaped. 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.
