'General Byrd' daffodil (Narcissus 'General Byrd') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. L. Steenvoorden bred it.
