Notes
'Delibes' daffodil (Narcissus 'Delibes') 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. Its fragrant yellow flowers open wide, with a frilled cup that shades to orange at the mouth. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Krossa Regal hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Blue fescue.
