Notes

'Goldflake' daffodil (Narcissus 'Goldflake') 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 tend to pass it by. The golden yellow blooms are fragrant and attract butterflies and bees. H.P. Zwetsloot bred it.

Pairs well with Blue fescue, Greig's tulip, and Cora Louise peony.
