Narcissus 'Tete a Tete' is a miniature rock garden daffodil with cute, dainty flowers that reach just six inches high. The yellow perianth is topped with a slightly darker yellow corona. This is a great cultivar for rock gardens, small terracotta pots for the patio or balcony, for tucking into larger mixed containers, and for planting along pathways and in nooks and crannies in the garden. Daffodils are disease and pest resistant and, planted in full to part sun, will come back year after year with ever expanding clumps. Deer and rabbit resistant. Photo: Wikimedia.
