Notes

'Glencairn' daffodil (Narcissus 'Glencairn') 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 flowers have a chrome yellow corona with a rolled rim, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. J.L. Richardson bred it.

Pairs well with Foam flower, Greig's tulip, and Bartzella peony.
