Notes

'Oswega' daffodil (Narcissus 'Oswega') 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. The fragrant flowers have a lemon yellow corona and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. De Graaff Bros bred it.

Pairs well with Lenten rose, Pink Hawaiian Coral peony, and Greig's tulip.
