Common Name(s)
Dwarf Daffodil, Tete a Tete Daffodil

Origin
This native British cultivar was introduced in 1949.

Description
One of the most popular varieties of dwarf daffodil, these blooms are a sure sign of spring with their bright golden-yellow flowers. If you have limited room, you can still fill your outdoor space with dancing daffodils! These flowers sit on stems only 15-30cm in height, and can grow two flowers from each stem. This variety has been given the RHS Award of Garden Merit, and is sure to bring delight to your garden as it flowers year after year.

Months of Interest
Can flower February - April

Pruning Tips
Don't prune after flowering, as this period is important to help the plant replenish its food reserves. Deadheading faded flowers is fine though!

Wildlife Value
Can provide nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.

Positioning
Dappled shade to full sun is best for these golden blooms

Water
Moist soil is ideal; make sure they are not sat somewhere boggy or in a puddle, and they shouldn't need watering unless there is a drought.

Soil
Can grow in multiple types of soil, as long as it is moist and well-drained!

Food
A liquid feed will be beneficial in poor soil; the best time is while the leaves are still green.

Pet-safe?
No, this plant is toxic to cats, dogs, horses and humans, so no nibbling!

Sprouts Top Tips
These are our top pick for limited spaces! They can grow in smaller patches of grass and in pots. If you're keeping them in a pot, make sure to add nutrients or fresh compost every year or so; these daffs will appreciate a nutrient boost in early spring while they are growing.

 

 

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
