Notes

'Gertie Millar' daffodil (Narcissus 'Gertie Millar') is a bulb for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and containers. 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 flowers open in spring and draw bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. De Graaff Bros bred it.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Lily, and Buckeye Belle peony.
