Daffodils That Bloom in Zone 5

U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 5 extends from the Maine coast through central New England westward through states such as New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Colorado. The zone, where winters sometimes feature temperatures that drop to minus 20 F, also includes parts of western states like Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and New Mexico. Most types of daffodils come back every year in USDA zones colder than zone 5, so a large selection for your landscaping needs is available.

  1. Trumpet Daffodils

    • Trumpet daffodils take their name from their corona being as long as the petals are wide, giving the flower the appearance of the musical instrument. Narcissus "Brer Fox" is a type that grows to 18 inches, possessing yellow petals and an orange "trumpet." Brer Fox blooms during April. King Alfred is a famous daffodil cultivar for USDA zone 5 that features an all-yellow flower. Blooming in March and April, King Alfred grows to 2 feet high and has flowers 4 inches wide and 4 inches long. A trumpet daffodil variety, it makes an excellent cut flower for an indoor arrangement.

    Jonquilla Daffodils

    • Jonquilla daffodils, those featuring a shorter "cup" while the petals spread wide, are typically aromatic. Chit Chat is a miniature cultivar that only gets about 4 inches tall. It generates between two and four flowers on each stem and blooms in USDA zone 5 as late as May. Pixie's Sister is a Jonquilla variety that grows to 6 inches, producing up to five blooms per stem, notes Cornell University. Its flowers are a deep, golden yellow shade, emerging as late as May.

    Large-Cupped Daffodils

    • The cup on a large-cupped daffodil is at least one third as wide as the flower's petals, but the cup never exceeds the length of the petals. Pink and apricot are the colors of the cup of Icelandic Pink, a cultivar suitable for zone 5 flowerbeds. The petals are white on this daffodil, which attains heights of 16 inches. The cup on the Manon Lescaut cultivar has a flattened look, with the cup being cream yellow, but with a small orange band about it. The petals of this 20-inch tall flower are all white, and one flower occurs on each stem.

    Cyclamineus Daffodils

    • Arching stems and reflexed petals are staples of cyclamineus daffodils; Little Princess is a cultivar growing to 12 inches and blooming in May throughout zone 5. Petals are combinations of green and white, while the cup is pink-yellow. Beryl features a two-toned orange cup, but its petals are yellow and pointy. Beryl grows to heights around 18 inches.
