Why Tête-à-Tête Mini Daffodils Are a Must-Have in Every NZ Garden

Mini daffodils like the ever-popular Tête-à-Tête are a cheerful, easy-to-grow flower that bring reliable colour to any New Zealand garden. At Black Cat Flower Garden in Glenroy, these petite blooms are a seasonal favourite — often pre-ordered and planted in early autumn so they’re ready to shine in July.

Tête-à-Tête daffodils are known for their compact size (perfect for barrels or pots), bold yellow petals, and early blooming nature. Even better, they’re incredibly low-maintenance. Just plant the bulbs 10cm deep in well-drained soil, water gently, and let nature do the rest.

At Black Cat Flower Garden, we grow our bulbs organically — no chemical sprays or synthetic fertilisers. Each bulb pack is compostable and comes with a handwritten label and planting tip. In previous years, pre-order customers have enjoyed blooms just in time for early July — and the feedback has been full of smiles and springtime joy.

If you’re looking to add colour to your front step, create a child-friendly planting project, or simply brighten a chilly winter’s morning, these mini daffodils are the perfect fit.
