Narcissi Miscellaneous Tete-a-Tete
N0673
Description
The archetypal, neatly formed miniature daffodil to bring brightness and cheer to your garden, Narcissus ‘Tete-a-Tete’ is a much-loved, well-known variety for good reason. The dainty, canary yellow trumpets are the dearest of garden friends: warm, welcoming, and always brimming with enthusiasm. Highly floriferous, with up to 3 blooms per stem, this superb performer has justly earned itself an RHS Award of Garden Merit. The petite size of ‘Tete-a-Tete’ makes it ideal for containers, and for edging paths and borders where it will naturalise freely and return reliably. Undemanding, carefree, charismatic – a superlative narcissus.
Narcissus ‘Tete-a Tete’also make a charming early spring show, when they are forced into early bloom indoors. Add some moss, a few twigs, and autumn leaves to the potting surface for a naturalistic, woodland display.
Care Guide
Plant Daffodil and Narcissi bulbs in autumn, ideally in mid September to early October to enable roots to establish before a period of cold in winter. A position in full sun or light shade is best and good drainage is essential. Daffodils and Narcissi are long lasting and naturalise well, providing a welcoming display every spring. Ideal for borders, containers, rock gardens and open grass. Plant the bulbs 10-20cm deep and apart, depending on variety. A good rule of thumb is to plant bulbs 2-3 times their depth. Flowers appear in March and April and should be deadheaded once faded. The foliage should be left to turn yellow and fade naturally on the plant as this helps to feed the bulbs for next year’s blooms.
