Notes

'Gold Rush' daffodil (Narcissus 'Gold Rush') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 draw butterflies and bees, and the cup has orange and yellow bands. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Warnaar & Co bred it.

Pairs well with Flowering quince and Jackmanii clematis.
