Notes

'Hardy' daffodil (Narcissus 'Hardy') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers have sulphur white petals and a densely frilled orange cup. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Sundrops, and Coral Sunset peony.
