Notes
'Jetfire' daffodil (Narcissus 'Jetfire') 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 fragrant yellow flowers have an orange-red trumpet, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It stays 9 to 12 inches tall, and G.E. Mitsch bred it.
Pairs well with Wide Brim hosta, Christmas fern, and Blue fescue.
