Notes
'Golden Ducat' daffodil (Narcissus 'Golden Ducat') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant yellow blooms open in spring and attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. A. Speelman & Zn. bred it.
Pairs well with Grape hyacinth, Siberian bugloss, and Apollo common hyacinth.
