Notes

'Bonython' daffodil (Narcissus 'Bonython') 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 have sulphur white petals around a soft sulphur yellow cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. P.D. Williams bred it.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Sundrops, and Bartzella peony.
