Notes
'Edward Buxton' daffodil (Narcissus 'Edward Buxton') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers have pale creamy yellow petals and a dark yellow cup with an orange band at the rim. They hold their color in strong sun, and A. Sandys-Winsch bred it.
Pairs well with Star magnolia, Karl Rosenfield peony, and Big bluestem.
