'Tangent' daffodil (Narcissus 'Tangent') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall and has fragrant white petals with a rose cup that attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
