Notes
'Slim Whitman' daffodil (Narcissus 'Slim Whitman') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Creamy white petals surround an orange-yellow corona, and bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. D.P. de Graaf bred it.
Pairs well with Picture tulip, Empress Wu hosta, and Nodding onion.
