Notes
'Kilworth' daffodil (Narcissus 'Kilworth') 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 blooms have creamy white petals and a frilled, bowl-shaped orange cup. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Kansas peony, Irish moss, and Nelly Moser clematis.
