Notes
'La Riante' daffodil (Narcissus 'La Riante') 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 open creamy white and turn pure white, with a reddish orange cup. P. van Deursen bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Paula Fay peony.
