Notes

'Santa Claus' daffodil (Narcissus 'Santa Claus') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and rock 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 pure white flowers are strongly scented and draw butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. G.L. Wilson bred it.

Pairs well with Lily, Blue fescue, and Paula Fay peony.
