Notes
'Agra' daffodil (Narcissus 'Agra') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The large flowers have soft sulphur yellow petals and a wide, deep orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Lower bred it.
Pairs well with Paula Fay peony, Creeping thyme, and Blue fescue.
