Notes
'Rose Royale' daffodil (Narcissus 'Rose Royale') 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. The fragrant flowers have ice white petals and a broad pink cup with lime green in the tube, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Blue fescue, and Greig's tulip.
