Notes
'Tete-a-Tete' daffodil (Narcissus 'Tete-a-Tete') is a bulb for borders, containers, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant, buttercup yellow flowers open in spring on short stems, and bees and butterflies visit them. A. Gray bred it.
Pairs well with Greig's tulip, Blue fescue, and Balloon flower.
