Notes

'Daydream' daffodil (Narcissus 'Daydream') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The greenish yellow blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. G.E. Mitsch bred it.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, and Christmas fern.
