Product Information
Full details
The Thompson & Morgan Daffodil Tete A Tete bulbs are an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add early-season vibrance to small spaces, containers, or borders. These miniature narcissus are highly valued for their reliable, multiple golden-yellow trumpet blooms per stem, making them perfect for creating a dense, colorful carpet. While they are exceptionally easy to grow and guaranteed to flower in their first year, gardeners should note their compact stature means they are best suited for the front of borders or display pots rather than large-scale background landscaping.

FAQs
When is the best time to plant Tete A Tete bulbs?
These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.
Can I grow these indoors?
Yes, they are excellent for indoor containers provided they are kept in a cool, bright spot until they begin to sprout.
How deep should I plant them?
Aim for a planting depth of 10-15cm with the pointed end facing upward.
Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?
No, Tete A Tete daffodils are excellent for naturalizing and can be left in the ground permanently.
Why are my daffodil stems flopping over?
This is often due to insufficient light or overly rich soil that promotes rapid, weak growth. Ensure they receive full sun.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to produce flowers
Ensure they were planted in a sunny spot; lack of light is the most common cause of foliage without blooms.
Bulbs rotting in containers
Check that the drainage holes are not blocked and ensure the soil is not overly saturated during winter dormancy.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Multiple blooms per individual stem
- Compact size fits small containers and rockeries
- Very easy to plant and maintain
- Ideal for naturalizing in lawn areas
Cons

- Must be planted at the correct time of year for spring success
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant these bulbs in autumn in well-draining soil. Dig a hole approximately 10-15cm deep, placing the bulb with the pointed end facing upward. If planting in pots, ensure the container has adequate drainage holes to prevent bulb rot during the wetter winter months.
After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally—do not cut it down immediately—as the leaves are necessary for the bulb to store energy for next year's growth. Once the leaves have turned yellow and withered, they can be removed. These bulbs are fully hardy and can remain in the ground year-round in most climates, making them a low-maintenance, perennial favorite.
