Notes
'John Kennedy' daffodil (Narcissus 'John Kennedy') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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. G. Lubbe & Zn. bred it, and bees and butterflies visit the fragrant, light yellow blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plant it where you can enjoy the scent up close.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Christmas fern, and Duchesse de Nemours peony.
