Notes
'Lord Nelson' daffodil (Narcissus 'Lord Nelson') 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. It grows about 18 inches tall and has fragrant flowers that attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. G.B. van Rhijn bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Lamb’s ear, and Coral Sunset peony.
