Notes

'Chinita' daffodil (Narcissus 'Chinita') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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 flowers have straw yellow petals and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. F.H. Chapman bred it.

Pairs well with Green Spice coral bells, Paula Fay peony, and Buffalo grass.
