Notes
'Binkie' daffodil (Narcissus 'Binkie') 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 blooms are light greenish yellow with a yellowish white cup that fades to white. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Christmas fern, Dancing Queen hosta, and Prairie dropseed.
