Notes
'Dorchester' daffodil (Narcissus 'Dorchester') 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 white, rounded flowers have many layers of petals with short, frilled pink centers. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Creeping thyme, and Jane magnolia.
