Narcissus ‘Golden Ducat’ (Double Daffodil)

Incredibly eye-catching and sweetly fragrant, Narcissus ‘Golden Ducat’ produces large, fully double flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), adorned with multiple layers of brilliant golden-yellow, pointed petals. Borne on sturdy stems, the ravishing flowers appear, one or two per stem, in mid-spring. A great naturalizer, this heirloom daffodil combines well with sweetly scented pink or blue hyacinths or with richly colored tulips. It makes a wonderful cut flower too!

• Grows up to 16 in. tall (40 cm), and naturalizes well, coming back year after year.
• Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun or part shade. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, but reduce watering after foliage begins to die back. Since periods with a lot of wind or wet weather can cause their flower stems to break, plant these narcissi in sheltered locations.
• These Daffodils are welcomed additions to beds, borders, containers, around shrubs, and under deciduous trees. Provide spectacular drifts of color when planted en masse or mixed with any other flowering bulbs. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 6 bulbs). Excellent as cut flowers and can be grown in indoor pots! In contrast to other narcissi, double narcissi should not be cut until they are entirely open.
• Deer and rabbit resistant!
• To be planted in fall
• Ingestion may cause severe discomfort. Can also be a skin irritant.
• Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
• Double Narcissus group includes sweetly fragrant, mid-sized daffodils resembling peonies or carnations more than classic daffodils with their packed rows of petals and all their frills. This group includes either daffodils with a doubled trumpet or daffodils with a double row of petals or even both.
