Notes
'Standard' daffodil (Narcissus 'Standard') 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. It grows about 16 inches tall and has fragrant blooms that attract butterflies and bees. G.B. de Vroomen & Zonen bred it. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Peony, Greig's tulip, and Wormwood.
