Notes
'Tahiti' daffodil (Narcissus 'Tahiti') 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 and average to moist soil of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The double yellow and orange-red blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. J.L. Richardson bred it.
Pairs well with Liberty hosta, Blue fescue, and Greig's tulip.
