Notes

'Passionale' daffodil (Narcissus 'Passionale') 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. The fragrant white blooms have a soft pink cup, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Plants reach 12 to 18 inches tall.

Pairs well with Spanish bluebell, Royal Standard hosta, and Western sword fern.
