The Paperwhite is a member of the Daffodil family, known for its small yet incredibly fragrant blooms. The intense fragrance can quickly fill a room, so it may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to strong scents. However, if you're looking to freshen up a space with a touch of spring, the Paperwhite is the perfect choice! Its sweet aroma and delicate white flowers can bring a burst of freshness to any home.
When grown indoors from bulbs, Paperwhites thrive in direct sunlight until buds begin to form, at which point they should be moved to a spot with indirect light. This helps prolong their bloom. Outdoors, Paperwhites can tolerate both full and partial sun. Unlike many other bulbs, Paperwhites do not require a prolonged cool period to bloom and prefer a hot, dry summer rest. Because of this, they are often discarded after indoor forcing, though planting them outside can yield blooms in warmer climates year after year.
Available in live blooming kits (when in season) and as part of our artificial offerings, the Paperwhite is an excellent choice for a fragrant, spring-inspired addition to your home. If you'd like the look without the scent, our artificial Paperwhites provide the beauty without the intensity of the fragrance.
