Notes
'Sundial' daffodil (Narcissus 'Sundial') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant lemon yellow blooms have deeper yellow cups and attract butterflies and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. A. Gray bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Sarah Bernhardt peony.
