Notes
'Manon Lescaut' daffodil (Narcissus 'Manon Lescaut') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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. The fragrant white flowers have a creamy yellow cup and attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Konijnenburg & Mark bred it.
Pairs well with Little Beauty tulip, Spanish bluebell, and Kansas peony.
