Notes
'Little Gem' daffodil (Narcissus 'Little Gem') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays 3 to 6 inches tall and bears fragrant yellow flowers with yellow trumpets that attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. J. Gerritsen & Zoon bred it.
Pairs well with Black Parrot tulip, Minuteman hosta, and Christmas fern.
