Narcissus ‘King Alfred’ is in Division 1. It blooms in early to mid spring with 4 inch flowers. The petals are bright yellow while the corona is a somewhat deeper tone of yellow. The corona is cylindrical with an expanded mouth and a flanged rim. 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.
