Notes

'Altun Ha' daffodil (Narcissus 'Altun Ha') 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 fragrant flowers have a lemon yellow cup that matures to white, so they look like a whiter Daydream. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. A.J.R. Pearson bred it.

Pairs well with Duchesse de Nemours peony, Heather, and Big bluestem.
