Notes

'Early Bride' daffodil (Narcissus 'Early Bride') 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 ivory white flowers have a light orange, frilled cup and a sweet scent, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. N. van Reeuwijk bred it.

Pairs well with Minuteman hosta, Blue fescue, and Christmas fern.
