Common Questions

Hawera Daffodil questions

What zones can Hawera Daffodil grow in?

Hawera Daffodil is hardy in USDA Zones 4–9. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Is Hawera Daffodil deer resistant?

Yes — Hawera Daffodil is rated deer-resistant. Deer typically pass it over, though extreme hunger can override any plant's defenses.

Does Hawera Daffodil need full sun?

Hawera Daffodil does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
