Gardening Tips:
Indoor Fall & Winter ColorPaperwhites (Narcissus spp.) develop stunning clusters of white fragrant flowers during the months of November through March.
To grow paperwhites you'll need a flowerpot, potting soil, and the bulbs.
A small pot, only 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter, can hold about five bulbs.
Fill the pot about two-thirds full with soil; wet it well. Arrange bulbs on top of the wet soil; then top off with soil.
The green tips should be left uncovered. Allow about a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of space at the top for watering.
The bulbs will flower about five weeks after planting.
If you want to give them as a gift for the holidays, plant your pots during the last 2 weeks of November so they'll be in flower in time.
Lastly, remember, cool temperatures slow plant growth, while warmth speeds it up, so you may need to adjust where your plant is in the house accordingly.
