Notes
'Ludlow' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ludlow') 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 flowers are pure white and fragrant, with a frilled, funnel-shaped center that is greenish yellow at the base. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Shirley Temple peony, and Spiderwort.
