Narcissus ‘Double Smiles’ is in Division 4. It blooms in mid spring with double flowers. The flowers are 3 inches across and occur 3 per stem. The bright yellow petals are arranged in 2 or 3 whorls while the yellowish orange corona segments are clustered at the center. 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.
