Narcissus tete a tete

Tete a tete is the most popular miniature daffodil, as the size makes it a popular choice for planting in patio containers, window boxes, rockeries or at the front of a border. As long as faded blooms are picked off regularly, they will produce masses of radiant yellow blooms giving your containers or garden the bright lift it needs in late Winter/early Spring. They are also an excellent choice for cut flowers. For the bulb enthusiasts, they are available in bulb form during the months of August to November as well as being available as instant colour in the months of February through to April.The popularity of this cultivar has meant that it has earned the prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
