Notes
'Syracuse' daffodil (Narcissus 'Syracuse') 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 blooms have pale cream, frilled, bowl-shaped cups that attract bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Blue fescue, and Pink Hawaiian Coral peony.
