Notes

'Tinker' daffodil (Narcissus 'Tinker') 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 browse other plants first. The flowers have deep gold petals and a scarlet-orange cup, and they smell sweet. Bees and butterflies visit them.

Pairs well with Lily of the valley, Red Charm peony, and Christmas fern.
