Notes
'Hawera' daffodil (Narcissus 'Hawera') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, 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. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Its fragrant, lemon yellow blooms open in spring and attract butterflies and bees. W.M. Thomson bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta.
