'Indian Chief' daffodil (Narcissus 'Indian Chief') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flower use. 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 blooms attract butterflies and bees, and plants reach about 18 inches tall. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Mrs. R.O. Backhouse bred it.

Pairs well with Astilbe, Star magnolia, and Greig's tulip.
