Notes

'Polbathic' daffodil (Narcissus 'Polbathic') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The yellow blooms have a cylindrical red cup and a sweet scent. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Common blue violet, and Prairie dropseed.
