Notes
'Rushlight' daffodil (Narcissus 'Rushlight') 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. Angus Wilson bred it, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Paula Fay peony, Creeping thyme, and Big bluestem.
