Notes

'Lugano' daffodil (Narcissus 'Lugano') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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. The fragrant blooms have primrose yellow petals and a white trumpet, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. J. Gerritsen & Zoon bred it.

Pairs well with Little Beauty tulip, Kansas peony, and Blue grama.
