Notes
'Acropolis' daffodil (Narcissus 'Acropolis') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The double blooms are white with orange-yellow centers and have a sweet fragrance. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Spanish bluebell, Karl Rosenfield peony, and Sedge.
