Notes

'Premiere' daffodil (Narcissus 'Premiere') 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant flowers have greenish-yellow petals and an orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Plants reach 12 to 18 inches tall.

Pairs well with Little Beauty tulip, Abiqua Drinking Gourd hosta, and Limeglow creeping juniper.
