Growing Instructions
Place container in a warm location where the bulbs will receive indirect light. Keep soil moist. Paperwhite bulbs like room temperatures. Exposure to sunshine will keep stems shorter. As the flower stalks grows towards the light, rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy! After the paperwhites have bloomed indoors, add water as needed to maintain the leaves. When all danger of frost has passed and when the ground outdoors is workable, bulbs can be planted outside to naturalize in USDA hardy zones 8-11.
Care Tip
Paperwhite narcissus bulbs can be kept for months and should be planted approximately 6 weeks before desired bloom time. Store bulbs before planting at 65ºF or cooler. Paperwhites grow equally well in soil or without soil in a container with pebbles and water.
