Notes
'Fermoy' daffodil (Narcissus 'Fermoy') 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 have pure white petals around a broad orange cup that fades to golden yellow at the base. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Greig's tulip.
