Notes
'Jules Verne' daffodil (Narcissus 'Jules Verne') 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. The fragrant flowers have sulphur white petals and a narrow, creamy yellow cup with a frilled rim. D.W. Lefeber & Co. bred it. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Creeping thyme, Blue fescue, and Duchesse de Nemours peony.
