Notes

'Kanchenjunga' daffodil (Narcissus 'Kanchenjunga') 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant flowers are about 130 mm wide and have broad, overlapping petals. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. G.L. Wilson bred it.

Pairs well with Astilbe, Kansas peony, and Big bluestem.
