Notes

'Golden Surprise' daffodil (Narcissus 'Golden Surprise') is a bulb for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and cut flowers. 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. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant, star-shaped flowers have a narrow corona and draw butterflies and bees. G. Vink bred it.

Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Bartzella peony, and Weigela.
