Notes
'Arish Mell' daffodil (Narcissus 'Arish Mell') 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 bears 3 to 4 pure white, fragrant flowers on each stem, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. D. & J.W. Blanchard bred it.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Christmas fern.
