Where to Plant Paperwhites
Paperwhite bulbs can be planted in containers with potting soil. They will also grow in gravel, stone, sand, marbles, or other material that serves to anchor the roots.
How to Plant Paperwhite Bulbs
If planting in potting soil, plant the bulbs with the top just above the soil. Water well and keep the soil evenly moist. Place the pot in a sunny window.
If planting in decorative, shallow containers without drainage holes, place the bulbs so that the lower third of the bulb is covered with gravel or whatever material you have used. Add water so it's level to the base of the bulb. Place where it will receive sunlight. Make sure you water them every day.
How to Care for Paperwhites
The most important care instructions are to make sure the bulbs receive adequate water and sunlight. Forced paperwhite narcissus are treated as annuals. After they finish blooming, they are discarded.
How to Choose the Right Paperwhite for You
Paperwhites are generally forced to bloom indoors during wintertime. When selecting the best paperwhite narcissus for your home, consider factors such as ease of care and color. Paperwhites are known for their strong, sweet fragrance, so choose a variety that matches your preference, as some have more intense scents than others. Consider the Ziva variety to grow indoors since it blooms quickly and is popular for its large, white flowers and minimal care requirements.
For outdoor planting, plant bulbs that are firm, free from mold or soft spots, and suited to your hardiness zone. Paperwhites are typically easy to grow in various conditions, requiring little more than a sunny spot and regular watering. If you're seeking a long bloom period, stagger plantings over a few weeks to enjoy continuous blooms throughout the winter season.
