Notes
'Salome' daffodil (Narcissus 'Salome') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The white blooms are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Grape hyacinth, Spanish bluebell, and Siberian bugloss.
