Notes
'George Leak' daffodil (Narcissus 'George Leak') 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 snow white flowers fragrant and have a yellow-orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
