According to The American Horticultural Society’s 1937 issue of the The American Daffodil Year Book, Guy L. Wilson’s article “Some Modern Daffodils for Garden Decoration” states: “For those who like a big flower, Kandahar has everything to recommend it: it attracts such attention amongst visitors to my grounds. It is an immense giant trumpet of deep self golden color and great substance. It flowers very freely, making a most striking effect, as both foliage and stems are very strong, and the great blooms are carried at a somewhat upward pose above the leaves, their exceptional substance enabling them to resist weather damage better than most. It is a plant of immense vigor, making very large heavy bulbs.”
