Daffodils grow better in cold water or hot water?

A plant has to be in a climate that suits it. Most of the chemical reactions that make life possible happen best between freezing (0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit) and somewhere under boiling.

To quote another source :

Most plants grow slowly at low temperatures, 32-50°F (0-10°C), and some tropical plants are damaged or even killed at low but above-freezing temperatures.
