Paperwhite Narcissus 'Inbal'

Paperwhite Narcissus. (Narcissus 'Inbal')

What could be better than having blooming plants in your home in mid-winter? I love these because they are so easy that anyone can succeed with bringing them into bloom in the house. A great project for children, or young people developing an interest in horticulture.

The bulbs are usually offered for sale around the Christmas holidays. Simply plant the bulbs in a quality potting soil in a decorative pot and about 6 weeks later you'll be rewarded with clusters of pure white, fragrant flowers.

Note: Many people find the powerful fragrance of the older varieties of Paperwhites to be overwhelming. 'Inbal' has been specifically selected for a much lighter fragrance.
