Notes

'Cowley' daffodil (Narcissus 'Cowley') 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 flowers attract butterflies and bees, and D.B. Milne bred it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plant the bulbs in groups for a bright spring show.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Bartzella peony, and Big bluestem.
