Love these beauties. Paperwhites may be planted in either soil or stones. Place the bulbs about 1″ apart and cover two-thirds of the bulb with stones or completely with soil. Water and place them in a light, cool place until the foliage stands 3″ to 4″ high. Then, place them in a sunny location at room temperature and keep them well watered. They will bloom in four to six weeks. Keep planting in succession every few weeks and you’ll be delighted throughout the winter months. What I love most is watching them sprout and begin to send up their bright green leaves, for they are beautiful at every stage. Paperwhites won’t come back again, so discard after blooming is over. I think they’re worth it.
Time to get potting for the holidays!
