Notes
'Mary Gay Lirette' daffodil (Narcissus 'Mary Gay Lirette') 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 white blooms have a salmon cup and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Picture tulip, Spanish bluebell, and Karl Rosenfield peony.
