Notes

'Yellow River' daffodil (Narcissus 'Yellow River') is a bulb for borders, cottage gardens, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant yellow blooms open in spring and attract bees and butterflies. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.

Pairs well with Armenian grape hyacinth, Greek thimbleweed, Pink Giant glory of the snow, and Balloon flower.
