Notes

'Exotica' daffodil (Narcissus 'Exotica') 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 yellow flowers open early, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. De Graaff Bros bred it.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Shirley Temple peony, and Star magnolia.
