Notes
'Ascot' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ascot') 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 are light greenish yellow with yellow-orange cups edged in pinkish orange. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
