Notes

'Mount Hood' daffodil (Narcissus 'Mount Hood') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The white spring flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Plants reach 12 to 18 inches tall.

Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Picture tulip, and Black Beauty peony.
