Care Guide

‘Tête-à-Tête’ daffodils are easy to grow and very low-maintenance, making them perfect for gardeners of all abilities.

Planting

• When to plant: Plant bulbs in autumn (September to November) before the first frosts.

• Depth & spacing: Plant about 7–10cm deep and 6–8cm apart.

• Grouping: Plant in clusters or drifts of 10+ bulbs for maximum impact.

• Containers: Ideal for pots and tubs – use multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water after planting to help bulbs establish.

• In spring, water if conditions are very dry, particularly in containers.

• Feed after flowering with a balanced fertiliser to strengthen bulbs for next year.

Aftercare

• Deadhead spent flowers but leave the foliage to die back naturally.

• Avoid tying or cutting leaves early – they store energy for the following season.

• Naturalises well – over time, clumps will spread and multiply.

• If overcrowded, lift and divide bulbs in summer when dormant.

Protection

• Fully hardy – no special winter protection required in the ground.

• In pots, raise containers on feet to avoid waterlogging.
