Notes
'Zwanenburg' Peruvian daffodil (Ismene deflexa 'Zwanenburg') is a perennial for borders and containers, and it needs little care. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Large umbels of fragrant, ivory white flowers open from early to late summer. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The plant grows 24 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Agapanthus, Red Lion amaryllis, and Lemongrass.
