Notes
'Quail' daffodil (Narcissus 'Quail') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. The yellow blooms are fragrant and draw butterflies and bees. G.E. Mitsch bred it. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Curly Fries hosta, Blue fescue, and Christmas fern.
