Notes
'Croesus' daffodil (Narcissus 'Croesus') 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 are light yellow with a shallow, frilled orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. J.C. Williams bred it.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Greig's tulip.
