Notes

'Cassata' daffodil (Narcissus 'Cassata') 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 creamy white petals and a yellow cup, and they draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall.

Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Blue fescue, and Monsieur Jules Elie peony.
