Notes
'Decency' daffodil (Narcissus 'Decency') 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, nodding flowers have clear pale yellow petals and a slightly darker cup, and they draw bees and butterflies. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. P. van Deursen bred it.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Shirley Temple peony, and Niobe clematis.
