Notes
'Waterperry' daffodil (Narcissus 'Waterperry') 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 scented flowers have ivory white petals and a pale shell pink cup, and R.V. Favell bred it. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Blue fescue, and Duchesse de Nemours peony.
