Description

Everybody loves "Paperwhites". They're the sweet-smelling daffodils that bloom just as well on your coffee table as regular daffodils do in your garden. And these put up several multi-flowered stems from each bulb!

To make indoor pots and bowls, simply arrange the paperwhite bulbs in a shallow bowl or pot so they don't touch one another. Surround them with gravel, sand, or even soil, but no soil is really needed. Be sure the bulbs are about half into the planting medium, with the top half sticking up in the clear. Then, just water.

Almost instantly, the bulbs will sprout, and in just 6-10 weeks, you'll have a flurry of fragrant daffodils right there on the coffee table.

        I'd like them better if they weren't quite so tall. I don't think I'll get them again.

          I bought these bulbs intending to place them in pots inside. I lost them in the garage and planted them outside in the spring. All four had beautiful and fragrant flowers that lasted for almost a month! Gorgeous!

          Comments about American Meadows Indoor Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs - Bag of 4:

          On a dreary winter day, I was delighted to be planting something indoors that I knew would be flowering shortly. They looked lovely on my coffee table and were easy to plant and to care for, but I was disappointed that they did not fill the room with a fragrance.

                  I had trouble with MULTIPLE paperwhites this year--bought from two different sources. Most bulbs produced greenery, but out of 12-18 bulbs started only one gave me a flower.
