Inglescombe Double Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Inglescombe’ is in Division 4. It stands 14 inches high and blooms in mid season. The flowers are doubles, 2 ½ inch inches across with a rounded appearance. The light greenish yellow petals are arranged in multiple whorls with the smaller, darker yellow corona segments interspersed among them. 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.
