Notes

'Jack Snipe' daffodil (Narcissus 'Jack Snipe') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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. The white flowers have yellow trumpets and a sweet scent, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. M.P. Williams bred it.

Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Blue fescue, and Coral Sunset peony.
