Notes
'Summit' daffodil (Narcissus 'Summit') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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. The fragrant flowers have creamy white petals and a shallow, pale orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Uit den Boogaard bred it.
Pairs well with Sundrops, Pink Hawaiian Coral peony, and Big bluestem.
