Notes

'Colorama' daffodil (Narcissus 'Colorama') 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. The flowers have yellow petals and an orange cup, and they smell sweet. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Western sword fern, and White Swan coneflower.
