Notes
'Geranium' daffodil (Narcissus 'Geranium') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant blooms are creamy white with an orange-red cup, and they open in spring. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, Blue fescue, and Pink Hawaiian Coral peony.
