Notes
'Queen of the North' daffodil (Narcissus 'Queen of the North') 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, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies and bees visit the fragrant white flowers, which open in mid-season. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Barr & Sons bred it.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Duchesse de Nemours peony, and Big bluestem.
