Notes

'Candlestick' daffodil (Narcissus 'Candlestick') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant blooms open in spring and attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Karl Rosenfield peony, Big bluestem, and Cheyenne Spirit echinacea.
