Notes
'Penvose' daffodil (Narcissus 'Penvose') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 light greenish yellow petals around a vivid yellow cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. P.D. Williams bred it.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Greig's tulip, and Coral Charm peony.
