Notes
'Ninth Lancer' daffodil (Narcissus 'Ninth Lancer') 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The flowers are fragrant and bring bees and butterflies. Blooms have yellow petals and a frilled orange cup.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Pink Hawaiian Coral peony, and Inkberry.
