Notes
'Cromarty' daffodil (Narcissus 'Cromarty') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It stays a dwarf 14 inches tall and bears fragrant yellow-orange flowers that attract butterflies and bees. The Brodie of Brodie bred it.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Blue fescue, and Monsieur Jules Elie peony.
