Petrel Triandrus Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Petrel’ is in Division 5. It blooms in late spring with up to 7 or more flowers per stem. The petals are white, broadly oblong, and slightly reflexed. The corona is white 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.
