I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Narcissi Miniature 'Tete a Tete'

Daffodil

Narcissus 'Tete a Tete' is a cyclamineus daffodil, reaching 6 to 8 inches in height. It produces bright yellow petals surrounding a golden trumpet, with slightly reflexed petals that give it a distinctive, nodding appearance. The blooms appear in early to mid-spring and are sweetly fragrant, making them excellent for borders, containers, and naturalized plantings. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Tete a Tete' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. It naturalizes well, forming expanding clusters over time. This variety has won both the RHS Award of Garden Merit and the Wister Award from the American Daffodil Society. The most popular and widely grown daffodil in the Netherlands.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Miniature 'Tete a Tete'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 4 to 6 inches deep and 3 to 5 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils are ideal for naturalizing in meadows, rock gardens, and woodland edges.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Many species thrive under deciduous trees where spring light is abundant.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0).
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, depending on species. Most require a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets and self-seeding. Divide clumps every 4 to 6 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
