Notes

'Doctor James Parkinson' daffodil (Narcissus 'Doctor James Parkinson') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage 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. The fragrant white flowers have a vivid yellow cup with a frilled rim. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Star magnolia, Blue fescue, and Christmas fern.
