Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Narcissus Tete a Tete is a perfect choice for gardeners of all experience levels looking to add early spring color to their landscapes. These delightful miniature daffodils are prized for their radiant, golden-yellow trumpets and compact 15cm stature, making them incredibly versatile for rockeries, patio containers, or naturalizing in lawns. While they are exceptionally easy to grow and return reliably year after year, it is important to remember that these bulbs are toxic if ingested and can cause skin or eye irritation upon handling.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Tete a Tete bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, before the ground freezes, to ensure they establish roots before spring.

Are these daffodils safe for pets?

No, all parts of the Narcissus plant are toxic if eaten by cats, dogs, or other animals. Keep them out of reach of curious pets.

Can I grow these indoors?

Yes, they are excellent for forcing in pots. Plant them in a container and keep them in a cool, dark place until shoots appear, then move them to a sunny spot.

Do I need to fertilize them?

While not strictly necessary for established bulbs, you can apply a balanced liquid fertilizer after flowering to encourage vigorous growth for the next season.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

A general rule is to plant them at a depth of 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb.

Can I leave the bulbs in the ground year-round?

Yes, Tete a Tete is a hardy perennial and is designed to remain in the ground throughout the year.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout in spring

Ensure they were planted at the correct depth and that the soil did not become waterlogged during the winter, which can lead to bulb rot.

Flowers are small or lack vigor

This may indicate the bulbs are overcrowded; lift and divide the clusters once the foliage has died down after the flowering season.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low-maintenance and easy to grow
  • Compact size is ideal for small spaces and window boxes
  • Naturalizes well in grass for a woodland effect
  • Reliable perennial performance returning every year

Cons

  • Bulbs are irritants to skin and eyes
  • Harmful if ingested by humans or pets
  • Requires proper drainage to prevent bulb rot

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, plant your bulbs in the autumn in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole approximately two to three times the depth of the bulb and place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward. For container planting, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes. After flowering, allow the green foliage to wither naturally—do not cut it back prematurely—as this process feeds the bulb for next year's growth. When handling bulbs, always wear garden gloves to prevent skin irritation, and wash your hands thoroughly after planting. Keep bulbs stored in a cool, dry place if not planting immediately.
