Notes

'Spectator' daffodil (Narcissus 'Spectator') 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. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows about 18 inches tall and has fragrant blooms that attract butterflies and bees. G.A. Uit den Boogaard bred it.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Peony.
