White Marvel Double Daffodil

Narcissus ‘White Marvel’ is in Division 4. It blooms in mid to late spring with 3½ inch double flowers. The petals are slightly reflexed, broad and white, with a small point at the tip of each petal. The corona is white and sup shaped with multiple petals and corona segments packed within it. It is hardy in zones 4 to 7. 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.
