Notes
'Mercato' daffodil (Narcissus 'Mercato') 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. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It bears fragrant white blooms on stems about 18 inches tall, and bees and butterflies visit them. J. Berbee bred it.
Pairs well with Foam flower, Greig's tulip, and Blue fescue.
