About this product
The Thompson & Morgan 100 Daffodil ‘Tête-à-Tête’ Spring Bulbs offer a cheerful introduction to spring colour in your garden. These dwarf daffodil bulbs (Narcissus ‘Tête-à-Tête’) produce masses of bright yellow trumpet blooms on short stems, ideal for adding instant brightness to small spaces like patios, borders and containers. Loved by bees and other pollinators, they bring a welcome splash of colour after the winter months.
These hardy perennials are recognised by the RHS as an Award of Garden Merit variety, known for their consistent performance and reliability across the UK. They’re naturally easy to grow and require minimal maintenance, returning reliably every spring to form larger clumps over time. The bulbs thrive in full sun or partial shade and will flourish in all UK climates.
For planting, dig a hole approximately 10 centimetres deep and space the bulbs around 10 centimetres apart in well-drained soil. They’re suitable for flower beds, containers, rockeries, or even planted beneath trees. You can create stunning mixed spring displays by combining them with crocus or grape hyacinths. A pack contains 100 count – 25 individual bulbs.
These ‘Tête-à-Tête’ daffodils are best planted in autumn to early winter. Remember that they flower primarily during the spring, and require moderate watering once established.
