Fairy Chimes Triandrus Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Fairy Chimes’ is in Division 5. This is a dwarf cultivar that blooms in mid to late season. The flowers are 1 ¾ inches wide with 4 – 6 flowers on each stem. The flowers are scented and downfacing. The yellow petals are strongly reflexed and overlap at the base only. The corona is yellow, slightly paler near the rim, 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.
