Narcissus ‘Rip Van Winkle’ is in Division 4. It stands 5 -8 inches high and blooms very early in the season. The yellow flowers are 2 inches wide, double and fragrant . The petals are arranged in multiple whorls, while the corona segments are clustered at the center and loosely interspersed among the whorls of petals. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits.
