Notes
'Institut Curie' daffodil (Narcissus 'Institut Curie') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 yellow, fragrant blooms face up and open in spring, and bees and butterflies visit them. Karel J. van der Veek bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Christmas fern, Bowl of Beauty peony, and Prairie dropseed.
