Notes
'Sun Chariot' daffodil (Narcissus 'Sun Chariot') 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. The fragrant yellow blooms have an orange, frilled cup and open in spring, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Irish moss, Cora Louise peony, and Blue fescue.
