Notes
'Limerick' daffodil (Narcissus 'Limerick') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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 white flowers have a broad, orange-red cup and are fragrant, so bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Heather, Big bluestem, and Raspberry Sundae peony.
