Notes

'Louise de Coligny' daffodil (Narcissus 'Louise de Coligny') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 wavy petals and a frilled, light yellow cup that shades to apricot pink at the rim. They smell sweet and draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Monsieur Jules Elie peony, and Blue fescue.
