Notes

'Milanion' daffodil (Narcissus 'Milanion') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, 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. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant yellow blooms. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. G.L. Wilson bred it.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Greig's tulip.
