Notes

'Apricot Distinction' daffodil (Narcissus 'Apricot Distinction') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The flowers have pale orange-yellow petals and a deep orange, ribbed cup, and they bloom late. P. van Deursen bred it.

Pairs well with Foam flower, Blue fescue, and Raspberry Sundae peony.
