Product Description

Product Description
This is the classic paperwhite, the fastest from bulb to bloom and the hands-down easiest. Nestle a few in bowls filled with pebbles on windowsills throughout the house to bathe your home in their sweet, musky scent. Start new pots every 10 days and you'll have fragrance to carry you through until spring flowers are blooming outdoors. Or use pretty bowls as your containers - antique, colored glass or whatever strikes your fancy - ones that are unique and charming. This bag of 20 big bulbs will provide flowers and fragrance for months. For gardeners in zones 8-10 these will scent your early spring garden wonderfully and add bobbing white, snippable blooms to your flowerbeds. Deer and rodent proof. Expect multiple flower stalks with 4 to 6 blooms on each. Typically flowers in 40-60 days indoors, in time to brighten the dull days of winter.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very floriferous variety, huge healthy bulbs, but too fragrant, July 5, 2009

By	Kate Witt "SnakeGrrl" (New Mexico, USA) - See all my reviews

HUGE bulbs! I was going to buy ten plastic pots grow three of them in each of those. I was talked into the four inch pots at the garden center. Big mistake. I could only fit two in each...found one more four inch pot and had eight bulbs leftover (I bought a ten pack in addition to the twenty pack). The eight bulbs went into a ten inch pot and barely fit. I gave these as gifts, and about half the recipients said they smelled too strong. One told me outright that they gave her a headace. But everyone agreed that they were gorgeous.
Side note: When I gave them to my friend Mary Ann, her college-age son (a horticulture major) was really excited and took great care of them for his mom, he's going to try to get them to bloom again. They are very difficult to rebloom, so I wouldn't reccommend trying unless you know a lot about plants (like at horticulturist level).
