WHERE TO PLANT

Paperwhites are fantastic indoor or outdoor plants that fancy well-drained soil but can also be grown in water and pebbles.

Place them indoors near a bright, sunny window or outdoors in a spot that receives full sun.

Paperwhites can be planted outdoors anytime from fall through winter in zones 8 to 10, with flowers arriving in the spring. However, those in cooler climates can also enjoy the blossoms by forcing indoors!

HOW TO PLANT

• For container planting, select a shallow container and fill ⅓ of the way with a well-draining potting mix.
• Dig holes and plant the bulbs directly next to each other with the pointy ends facing up.
• Cover the bulbs with soil so that the tips just barely peek out in containers and bury about 5” in the ground.
• Water until the soil is roughly as damp as a wrung-out sponge.

HOW TO GROW

• Keep the soil slightly moist during active growth periods. If planting in pebbles, monitor the water levels routinely, ensuring the bulbs never sit in standing water, which will cause them to mold.
• Keep the stems straight by rotating your containers daily if growing indoors.
