Notes

'Ara' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ara') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage 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 fragrant ivory flowers have a pale yellow trumpet and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. W.F. Leenen & Zn. bred it.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Clustered bellflower, and Prairie dropseed.
