Notes

'Zephyr' daffodil (Narcissus 'Zephyr') 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 flowers have brilliant yellow petals and a light orange cup with a darker rim, and they attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. J.L. Richardson bred it.

Pairs well with Bowl of Cream peony, Blue fescue, and Greig's tulip.
