Notes
'Ceylon' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ceylon') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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. Its yellow petals surround an orange-red corona, and the flowers are fragrant. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Picture tulip, Earth Angel hosta, and Sedge.
