Product Description
Narcissus 'Tête-à-Tête' is one of the most popular miniature daffodil varieties and a real British favourite, producing masses of golden-yellow flowers from late February to April. With paler yellow petals and darker trumpets, and 3-5 flowers per stem, they will be a star performer in your garden in spring.
'Tête-à-Tête's' miniature status makes it an ideal choice for pots and containers and also perfect for planting in the front of beds and borders. Fully hardy and vigorous, the bulbs will naturalise easily if planted in the ground, yielding bigger and better clumps each year. For a natural look, throw a handful of bulbs onto a grassy area and then plant them where they fall.
Having a deliciously sweet scent, it makes a superb cut flower, so be sure to plant enough to fill your vases many times over.
Fully deserving of its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Tête-à-Tête' is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience, so you can plant these bulbs with confidence that they will give stunning displays year after year.
Supplied as a pack of 30 bulbs ready for immediate planting.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Which way up? Usually pointy end upwards, but if you are not sure, plant the bulb on its side and it will eventually right itself.
- Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots before planting to encourage faster and more reliable establishment.
- For long-lasting cut flowers, soak stems in warm water before placing in your vase.
Care Guide
Planting Advice for your bulbs:
- It is best to get your bulbs in the ground as soon as you can so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- Plant 'Tête-à-Tête' bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart.
- They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing; they will just need a good watering when you plant them, and thereafter only when the soil is dry.
- Leave them in the ground once they die back – they will come back bigger and better each year.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or leave in the ground to naturalise.
Aftercare Advice for your bulbs:
- Water frequently and if in pots, ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.

I had difficulty in placing my order for spring bulbs so I contacted Customer Services and I received excellent help from their supervisor who sorted out my order immediately. I will certainly buy from them again, not just for the service I received, but also because the plants always look healthy when they arrive and grow well.
Product:
The bulbs arrived earlier than estimated and appear to be healthy. I now have to wait for the spring to see how they grow.
