Notes

'Sacramento' daffodil (Narcissus 'Sacramento') 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. Its fragrant creamy white blooms have a frilled cup and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Big bluestem, Monsieur Jules Elie peony, and Nelly Moser clematis.
