Duke of Windsor Large-cupped Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Duke of Windsor’ is in Division 2 and blooms in early to mid season. It has broad white petals and a corona of apricot orange that blends to pale yellow at the rim. The corona is very shallow and very broad with a frilled, split 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.
