Notes
'Swansdown' daffodil (Narcissus 'Swansdown') 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 bears fragrant, pure white flowers with frilled, creamy white centers late in spring. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Cora Louise peony, Christmas fern, and Prairie dropseed.
