'Alarm' daffodil (Narcissus 'Alarm') 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. It grows about 18 inches tall and has fragrant blooms that attract butterflies and bees.
