Notes
'Red Bird' daffodil (Narcissus 'Red Bird') 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 cream white petals and a scarlet-orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. De Graaff Bros bred it.
Pairs well with Green Spice coral bells, Greig's tulip, and Coral Sunset peony.
