Notes

'Showman' daffodil (Narcissus 'Showman') 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant flowers have a pale lemon yellow corona and open in mid-season. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Raspberry Sundae peony, and Heather.
