'Spitzbergen' daffodil (Narcissus 'Spitzbergen') 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 tend to pass it by. The fragrant flowers have wavy, sulphur white petals and a greenish yellow cup. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
