Silver Smiles Jonquil

Narcissus ‘Silver Smiles’ is in Division 7. It blooms in mid spring with three 2½ inch flowers on a single stem. The petals are greenish white and the corona is pale yellow 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.
