Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs Bring Fragrant Winter Blooms Indoors Effortlessly
Paperwhite narcissus bulbs offer a simple way to bring cheerful winter blooms indoors. Unlike many spring bulbs, they don’t need cold storage to bloom, making them ideal for forcing in water or pots. Their sweet or musky fragrance can brighten even the darkest winter days.
Growing paperwhites starts with choosing a variety. Popular options include 'Bethlehem', 'Galilee', 'Israel', and 'Ziva', most of which carry a musky scent. The exception is 'Grand Soleil d’Or', known for its sweet, fruity fragrance.
Paperwhite narcissus provide a low-effort way to enjoy winter flowers indoors. With minimal preparation and the right conditions, they bloom reliably and fill rooms with fragrance. Once their flowers fade, the bulbs serve no further purpose and must be thrown away.
