Notes

'Sunlight Sensation' daffodil (Narcissus 'Sunlight Sensation') 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The lemon yellow flowers have a fruity fragrance. Each bulb sends up 3 flowering stems, and each stem holds 2-4 flowers.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Duchesse de Nemours peony, and Irish moss.
