Notes
'Pacific' daffodil (Narcissus 'Pacific') 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 creamy white petals overlap, and the center cup is tinged sulphur yellow. De Graaff-Gerharda bred it, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Duchesse de Nemours peony, Heather, and Buffalo grass.
