Poet's Narcissus (Narcissus poeticus): Fragrant White with Red-Rimmed Cup

Poet's Narcissus (Narcissus poeticus), also called Pheasant's Eye, is the legendary species daffodil of ancient poetry — with pure white, reflexed petals and a small, flattened, yellow cup edged in brilliant red. Intensely fragrant, it blooms late in the daffodil season. Naturalizes beautifully in meadows and grassy areas. The source of narcissus oil for perfumery.
