Notes
'Soundness' daffodil (Narcissus 'Soundness') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flower use. 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. The fragrant blooms open in early to late spring and attract butterflies and bees. P. van Deursen bred it.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Shirley Temple peony, and Niobe clematis.
