Professor Einstein Large-cupped Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Professor Einstein’ is in Division 2. It blooms in mid to late spring with roundish flowers. The petals are white and very broad with small but prominent points on the tips. The corona is scarlet red, very broad and disc 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.
