Notes

'Straight Arrow' daffodil (Narcissus 'Straight Arrow') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. The blooms have yellow petals and an orange-red trumpet. They are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Black Hero tulip, Winter aconite, and Prairie dropseed.
