Notes
'Feu de Joie' daffodil (Narcissus 'Feu de Joie') 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 creamy white petals and a frilled, pale orange cup, and they draw butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. W.F.M. Copeland bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Sarah Bernhardt peony.
