Narcissus ‘Jenny’ is in Division 6. It blooms in early to mid season with 3 ½ inch flowers. The petals are white, separating and reflexed. The corona is cylindrical, opening yellow but maturing to white. The flower has a scent which may be considered unpleasant. 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.
