Notes
'Bantam' daffodil (Narcissus 'Bantam') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cut flowers. 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 yellow blooms have a red-rimmed orange cup, a fragrant scent, and a pull for bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Barr & Sons bred it.
Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Nodding onion, and Bridal Bouquet peony.
