Notes

'Ice Follies' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ice Follies') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The white petals surround a yellow corona, and the flowers are fragrant. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms in spring.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Spanish bluebell, Sedge, and Western sword fern.
