Narcissus Camelot - Daffodil

Narcissus 'Camelot' is an herbaceous plant. It blooms from April to June, producing beautiful tubular and solitary yellow flowers. They are perched on long stems. These flowers emit a slight fragrance. Its green foliage is deciduous. The leaves are sword-shaped, with entire edges.

Daffodils are increasingly popular today because they are synonymous with spring. This 'Camelot' variety reaches a height of 35cm (14in) when fully grown. Originally from the Mediterranean basin, the large-crowned daffodil can be found in flower beds, lawns, rockeries, and in pots. Its blooms can be placed in a vase, but it is best not to mix them with other flowers.

Daffodils are toxic. They do not tolerate inclement weather such as rain, which damages the flower. Nevertheless, they are among the most resilient autumn bulbs. They are a faithful plant that returns every year.

Daffodils come from a Greek legend in which a handsome young man rejected the love of the nymph Echo. As a punishment, the gods made him love nothing more than his own reflection. When he perched above a fountain to drink, Narcissus saw his reflection and remained in contemplation of it until he drowned. He then transformed into a flower.
