Notes

'Blues' daffodil (Narcissus 'Blues') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage 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 fragrant white flowers have a yellow to orange cup and open in spring. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Christmas fern, and Angel Cheeks peony.
