Notes
'Itzim' daffodil (Narcissus 'Itzim') 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 fragrant yellow flowers have red trumpets and open in spring, and bees and butterflies visit them. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. G.E. Mitsch bred it.
Pairs well with Carnaval De Nice tulip, Blue fescue, and Autumn Frost hosta.
