Notes

'Shot Silk' daffodil (Narcissus 'Shot Silk') 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 creamy white flowers are fragrant, somewhat star-shaped, and have a long corona, and they attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. De Graaff Bros bred it.

Pairs well with Foam flower, Blue fescue, and Bartzella peony.
