Narcissus‘Tete-A- Tete’ is in Division 12. It blooms in early to mid spring with 2 -3 flowers on each stem. The flowers are 2 ½ inches wide with bright yellow petals that may be a little reflexed. The corona is short and cylindrical, and is a slightly darker yellow than the petals. The bulbs are toxic and will not be eaten by deer or rabbits.
