All great daffodils, but not all will do well in the colder zones. Avalanche
usually freezes out here in Cincinnati unless in a very protected spot and
we're Zone 6a. Mine froze so many years in a row that it died. Hoops
petticoats (Narcissus bulbocodium) can be iffy--I've never found the exactly
right conditions that make them live on for many years.
Intrigue and Quail are great jonquils--both of American breeding (Bill
Pannill 'Intrigue' and Grant Mitsch 'Quail'). I would pass on Accent--It was
a great pink-cupped daffodil when it was introduced in 1960, but put it next
to Fragrant Rose and it will not look as good.
