Notes
'Glenshesk' daffodil (Narcissus 'Glenshesk') 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 creamy white flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees, and G.L. Wilson bred it. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach about 18 inches tall.
Pairs well with Star magnolia, Christmas fern, and Bartzella peony.
