Notes
'Beersheba' daffodil (Narcissus 'Beersheba') 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 ivory white flowers face slightly downward and have a frilled, funnel-shaped center. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. G.H. Engleheart bred it, and the blooms smell sweet.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Dancing Queen hosta, and Christmas fern.
