Notes
'Galway' daffodil (Narcissus 'Galway') 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 in spring and attract butterflies and bees. Richardson bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Sarah Bernhardt peony, Blue fescue, and Big bluestem.
