Scientific Name
Narcissus cyclamineus 'Tete a Tete' (Cyclamen-like daffodil, cultivar: tête-à-tête)

Common Name(s)
Dwarf Daffodil, Tete a Tete Daffodil

Origin
This cultivar was first grown in Cornwall in 1949, but the species is native to Northwestern Spain and Portugal

Pruning Tips
Don't prune after flowering, as this period is important to help the plant replenish its food reserves. Deadheading faded flowers is fine though!

Wildlife Value
Can provide nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.

Positioning
Dappled shade to full sun is best for these golden blooms

Water
Moist soil is ideal; make sure they are not sat somewhere boggy or in a puddle, and they shouldn't need watering unless there is a drought.

Soil
Can grow in multiple types of soil, as long as it is moist and well-drained. Your daffodil will prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil, and not too rich either as this can weaken the growth.

Food
A liquid feed will be beneficial in poor soil; feed at the start of the growing season for best results.

Pet-safe?
No, this plant is toxic to cats, dogs, horses and humans, so no nibbling!

Sprouts Top Tips
These are our top pick for limited spaces! They can grow in smaller patches of grass and in pots. If you're keeping them in a pot, make sure to add nutrients or fresh compost every year or so; these daffs will appreciate a nutrient boost in early spring while they are growing.

Extras
This plant has been given the RHS' prestigious Award of Garden Merit for its stellar all-round performance in the garden.
