Daffodil - Cyclamineus - Tete-a-Tete
The Daffodil 'Tête-à-Tête', 'Narcissi cyclamineus', a fall planted bulb, is so named because they flower in profuse pairs facing one another in a most charming fashion. They are extremely popular due to its ease of culture, perfect form, vigor, and prolific blooms. They produce at least two dainty, bright yellow flowers with slightly recurved petals. They will continue to flower for years and years. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in very early spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders.
Tête-à-Tête bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year. If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither. and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
