Notes

'Youth' daffodil (Narcissus 'Youth') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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 fragrant blooms draw bees and butterflies. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. C.G. van Tubergen bred it.

Pairs well with Bowl of Beauty peony, Blue fescue, and Black-eyed Susan.
