Notes

'Dainty Miss' daffodil (Narcissus 'Dainty Miss') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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. It bears fragrant white blooms with a white-green cup in spring, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Once planted, it tolerates drought and salt.

Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Blue fescue, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Christmas fern.
