'Fortissimo' daffodil (Narcissus 'Fortissimo') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant yellow flowers have orange cups and attract butterflies and bees.
