Narcissus bulbocodium in Northern gardens

Dear PBS friends,

I have tried and never succeeded with Narc. bulbocodium in my outdoor gardens here in Kansas City MO - Zone 5/6. This includes the widely sold ‘Golden Bells’ and other sources. I just got a few bulbs of Steve Vinisky’s Cherry Creek Daffodils ‘Oregon Strain’ and hope for better.

Has any one tried this ‘Oregon Strain’ in colder climates. What success? I have planted a few outdoors in a slightly raised bed and others in a pot for the cool GH where I know they do quite well.

Is ‘Oregon Strain’ any hardier? Thanks for your experiences. Jim W.
