Notes
'Cantatrice' daffodil (Narcissus 'Cantatrice') 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 white blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. G.L. Wilson bred it.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Christmas fern, Kansas peony, and Blue fescue.
