Daffodil ‘Tête-à-tête’ (Narcissus cyclamineus ‘Tête-a-Tete’) – Dwarf Spring-Flowering Bulb - 16cm Bowl

Introductory paragraph
The daffodil ‘Tête-à-tête’ is a much-loved dwarf spring bulb, prized for its cheerful bright yellow flowers and compact habit. Ideal for pots, borders and patio containers, this miniature daffodil brings reliable early spring colour to gardens of all sizes.

Key Features

  • Produces bright yellow spring flowers with softly reflexed outer petals

  • Compact, dwarf growth habit ideal for containers and small spaces

  • Perfect for beds, borders, patio pots and window boxes

  • Easy to grow and reliable year after year

  • Suitable for a wide range of soil types and garden positions

  • Excellent choice for early seasonal interest

Product Description
Daffodil ‘Tête-à-tête’ is one of the most popular miniature daffodils, forming neat clumps of dark green, strappy foliage topped with vivid yellow blooms in early spring. The flowers feature slightly paler outer petals that gently reflex back, giving them a delicate yet cheerful appearance.

Reaching around 20cm tall, this compact variety is perfectly proportioned for containers, edging paths, or planting en masse at the front of borders. Its small size also makes it ideal for adding seasonal colour to patios, balconies and smaller gardens.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, daffodil ‘Tête-à-tête’ performs well in most garden soils provided they are moist but well-drained. Once established, it naturalizes easily, returning each spring with minimal effort and maximum impact.
