Notes
'Aranjuez' daffodil (Narcissus 'Aranjuez') 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 light yellow flowers have a deep lemon yellow cup that shades to reddish orange at the rim. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Warnaar & Co. bred it.
Pairs well with Foam flower, Blue fescue, and Nelly Moser clematis.
