Sun Chariot Large-cupped Daffodil

Narcissus ‘Sun Chariot’ is in Division 2. It blooms in early to mid season with 4½ inch flowers. The petals are bright yellow with a point at the tip. The corona is orange, short and funnel 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.
