Notes
'Wild Carnival' daffodil (Narcissus 'Wild Carnival') 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. The fragrant blooms have yellow petals and an orange cup, and bees and butterflies visit them. W.F. Leenen bred it. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Black Beauty peony, Earth Angel hosta, and Spanish bluebell.
