Notes
'Slieveboy' daffodil (Narcissus 'Slieveboy') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock 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 fragrant flowers have vivid yellow petals and a deep golden cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. G.L. Wilson bred it.
Pairs well with Foam flower, Sarah Bernhardt peony, and Big bluestem.
