Notes
'Selma Lagerlöf' daffodil (Narcissus 'Selma Lagerlöf') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, 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 fragrant flowers have creamy white petals, a large disc-shaped center, and a broad orange band at the rim. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. J.W.A. Lefeber bred it.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Greig's tulip, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Heather.
