FAQs
When is the best time to plant Narcissus Tete a Tete?
These bulbs should be planted in the autumn or early winter to ensure they establish roots before the coldest weather sets in.
Can I grow these in patio containers?
Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pot has good drainage and the bulbs are not overcrowded.
Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?
No, as a hardy perennial, they can be left in the ground or in pots to return year after year.
Are these flowers safe for cut flower arrangements?
Yes, they make beautiful, fragrant cut flowers for the home.
What kind of soil do they prefer?

Can they grow in full shade?
While they tolerate partial shade, they produce the best blooms when provided with at least a few hours of sunlight per day.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to sprout
Ensure they were planted at the correct depth and that the soil did not become waterlogged during the winter, which can lead to bulb decay.
Poor flowering in the second year
This is often caused by cutting the foliage back too early; always let the leaves wither naturally to recharge the bulb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, plant these bulbs during the autumn or winter months. Dig a hole roughly 10 cm deep, place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward, and cover with soil. If planting in pots, a standard peat-free bulb compost is sufficient. Maintain a distance of about 5–10 cm between bulbs to allow for proper airflow. After the flowers have faded, allow the foliage to die back naturally; this process is essential as it allows the bulb to store energy for next year’s growth. Avoid mowing over or cutting back the leaves until they have turned yellow and brittle.
