Possessing a lighter and sweeter fragrance than other Paperwhites, the unique 'Wintersun' variety carries up to nine lovely flowers on 12-16\" stems. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe deliver bulbs that are ready to begin growing upon arrival. When bulbs are planted in early December, they will flower in 4-6 weeks with seldom a miss. If you start your plantings at 2- to 4-week intervals you can keep the show running all winter. Bulbs may be held at room temperature (about 70°F) in a dark place (such as a closet), which allows plenty of flexibility in orchestrating displays for holidays or other special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperwhites require little more than to be potted and watered to produce clusters of fragrant blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the bulbs arrive, open the bags immediately to allow air to reach the bulbs. You can either pot the bulbs right away or keep them to grow at a later time. If storing the bulbs, keep them at room temperature (about 70°F) in a dark place for up to 4-6 weeks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you receive one of our 24-bulb collections, consider potting 6-12 bulbs at 2- to 4-week intervals for a staggered display. Bulbs generally bloom 4-6 weeks after potting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Paperwhites\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.whiteflowerfarm.com\/collections\/all-paperwhites\"\u003ePaperwhite Narcissus\u003c\/a\u003e will grow happily and bloom with nothing more than water and stones or pebbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing Paperwhites in water:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo \"plant\" your bulbs in any our our soilless kits, begin by carefully placing a layer of stones or pebbles to a depth of about 2\" in a small vase or about 4\" in a larger vase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext place a layer of Paperwhite bulbs close to each other, roots facing down. Put a few stones or pebbles around and between the bulbs to anchor them in the vase. Leave the tops of the bulbs exposed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, add water until the level reaches just below the base of the bulbs, but no higher (if the bases of the bulbs sit in water, they will rot).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the instructions for \"Rooting and care\" below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing Paperwhites in soil:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo pot the bulbs from one our kits with potting mix, begin by placing the potting mix in a plastic tub. Slowly add water and stir until the mix is moist but not soggy. Add moistened mix to the accompanying container until it is about 3\/4 full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the bulbs, pointed end up, on top of the mix. Space the bulbs very closely; they should almost touch. Then add more mix, covering the bulbs up to their necks and leaving the tips exposed.

Check the bulbs frequently and water thoroughly when the potting mix is dry 1\" below the surface (but not more than once a week until the bulbs begin active growth), or when the water level is more than 1\" below the stones or glass in your vase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf your bulbs are in a bowl (a pot without a drainage hole), water with extra care: Bulbs sitting in soggy potting mix soon rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce a week, tug gently on the bulbs to see if they have begun to produce roots. When your tug meets with firm resistance (usually about 3 weeks after potting), move the container to a sunny window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep a close eye on watering. Bulbs in active growth can dry out in just a day or two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Paperwhites are forced to bloom indoors, they have a tendency to topple when in flower. Hold them upright with the bulb supports supplied with our bulb kits or with bamboo stakes and twine (available at garden centers). If you use our supports, set them in place when the bulb shoots are 8-10\" tall by inserting the legs at regular intervals along the inside edge of the container. As the leaves and stems grow, a few will find their way outside the ring. Gently bend them and push them back inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter Paperwhites finish blooming, we recommend that you throw the bulbs out or toss them on the compost pile. They won't bloom again indoors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41465219088448,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4900\/7680\/files\/UntitledDesign_75.png?v=1793153909","url":"https:\/\/shop.dizzylizziesfarm.com\/products\/narcissus-paperwhite-wintersun-size-17-cm-12-bulbs","provider":"Dizzy Lizzie's Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
