Notes
'Chungking' daffodil (Narcissus 'Chungking') 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 golden yellow petals and shallow orange cup smell sweet, and bees and butterflies visit them. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Cora Louise peony, and Big bluestem.
