Notes
'Saturnus' daffodil (Narcissus 'Saturnus') 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. The flowers are fragrant and draw butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Foxglove, Gardenia peony, and Big bluestem.
