Notes

'Daphne' daffodil (Narcissus 'Daphne') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 white blooms are rounded, with many layers of petals, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. F. Culpin bred it.

Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Blue fescue.
