Notes

'Minnow' daffodil (Narcissus 'Minnow') is a bulb for borders, rock gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The creamy white petals surround yellow cups, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Balloon flower.
