Notes

'Sun Valley' daffodil (Narcissus 'Sun Valley') 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 flowers have greenish yellow petals around an orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. C.A. van Paridon bred this daffodil.

Pairs well with Lily, Sundrops, and Big bluestem.
