Passionale Large-cupped Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Passionale’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid-spring with 4-inch flowers. The white petals are broad and spreading with a small point at the tip. The large corona is a light yellowish pink and funneled shaped. 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.
