Notes
'Red Aria' daffodil (Narcissus 'Red Aria') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, 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. It bears fragrant orange petals around an orange-red cup, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Little Beauty tulip, Autumn Frost hosta, Shirley Temple peony, and Spanish bluebell.
