Notes

'Queen of Narcissi' daffodil (Narcissus 'Queen of Narcissi') 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 silver white petals and a frilled, deep yellow cup with an orange rim. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Star magnolia, Green Spice coral bells, Greig's tulip, and Blue fescue.
