Daffodil Pheasant’s Eye

Also known as the poet’s narcissi or narcissus poeticus, Daffodil Pheasant’s Eye is the daffodil of Greek legend, associated with the beautiful but vain Narcissus who was turned into a flower, ‘white of petal and red of cup’, because of his habit of staring at his reflection in the water. The story was passed down by the poets.. This gorgeous, highly scented variety, characterised by pure white petals that frame a yellow, flattened cup edged with red, is used by many professional French perfumiers as a principle ingredient in myriad successful and high-profile perfumes. Its essential oil fragrance resembles a combination of jasmine and hyacinth.. One of the last daffodils to bloom, daffodil Pheasant’s Eye is certainly worth waiting for.. Height: 40 cm..
