You've Got Options There are plenty of ways to use butterfly daffodils. They grow sweetly in little pots you can keep on your patio. You can add eye-catching colour and elegance to your mixed borders. They are a cinch to naturalize and will greet you every spring with a heart-melting scene when you plant them in drifts along a hillside. Wherever you choose, these beauties are very easy to grow. Although they thrive best in well-drained soil, they don't mind clay, loamy or sandy soil. Also, as with all daffodils, deer won't eat these varieties.
A Spring Display to Make your Heart Flutter! It's everything you love about easy-growing traditional daffodils, with the addition of an intricate and elegant form you'd think was designed by an artist instead of discovered by a hybridizer. The split cups, delicately curling between layers of petals, are clearly beautiful in pictures. However, nothing compares to watching them ruffle in a breeze, they look like a visiting butterfly's rustling wings.
