Large Cupped 'Fortune' Daffodil is a radiant spring bloomer that brings the cheerfulness of early season color to gardens across zones 3 through 8. This heirloom perennial displays striking orange and yellow bicolored flowers on upright stems reaching 10 to 14 inches tall, blooming 100 to 109 days after fall planting. Non-GMO and naturally deer and rabbit resistant, it thrives in full sun and adapts equally well to garden beds or containers, returning reliably year after year without demanding replanting.

The distinctive two-tone flowers of 'Fortune' combine warm golden yellow petals with a vibrant orange cup at the center, creating a sunset-like glow that appears in early to mid-spring. This bulb punches above its weight in deer and rabbit resistance, making it one of the few spring bloomers that remains untouched in gardens troubled by browsing wildlife. Its compact upright habit and moderate 10 to 14-inch stature mean it fits naturally into borders, containers, and small garden spaces without overwhelming neighboring plants.
Large Cupped 'Fortune' Daffodils are grown primarily as spring ornamental flowers for garden display and cut flower arrangements. Their early to mid-spring bloom time and bicolored appearance make them excellent for naturalizing in beds, borders, and containers where they create bold pools of color as other perennials are still emerging. They also attract pollinators during their blooming window, supporting early-season insect populations when few other nectar sources are available.

Plant bulbs in fall before the first hard frost, typically four to six weeks before ground freezes, allowing time for root establishment. Choose a location in full sun with well-draining soil. Space bulbs 6 inches apart and firm soil over them to eliminate air pockets.
