Notes
'Dove Wings' daffodil (Narcissus 'Dove Wings') 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. C.F. Coleman bred it, and the fragrant creamy white petals sweep back from a frilled yellow cup. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Creeping thyme, Blue fescue, and Raspberry Sundae peony.
