Why We Love It

Tête-à-Tête is one of the most popular miniature narcissus varieties, and for good reason. Its neat size makes it ideal for containers and small spaces, while its prolific flowering habit ensures a generous show of dainty golden trumpets each spring.

Charming and versatile, it naturalises easily and returns reliably year after year. Plant in drifts under trees, in pots by the front door, or mix with early tulips and muscari for a layered seasonal display.
