Notes
'Whistler' daffodil (Narcissus 'Whistler') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock 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 large corona is dark orange, and the narrow petal-like segments end in a point. The flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Irish moss, and Bartzella peony.
