Notes
'Saint Bavo' daffodil (Narcissus 'Saint Bavo') is a bulb for borders, containers, cut flowers, 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 creamy yellow flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. D. Heere Gzn. bred it.
Pairs well with Monsieur Jules Elie peony, Big bluestem, and Nelly Moser clematis.
