Notes
'Double Youth' daffodil (Narcissus 'Double Youth') 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 flowers draw butterflies and bees, and J. Valkering & Zn. bred it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The blooms look like a larger-flowered Telamonius Plenus of a clearer yellow.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Duchesse de Nemours peony, and Heather.
