Notes
'Gay Time' daffodil (Narcissus 'Gay Time') 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, creamy white flowers have a frilled, orange-red center and attract bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Christmas fern, and Bartzella peony.
