If
we need anything in winter, it's the promise of spring to come. The
fragrant blossoms of Paperwhite Narcissus or daffodil deliver on that
promise.
To force Paperwhites, fill a bulb pan with one to two inches of potting
soil, then position the bulbs in the soil with their pointed ends up,
so they nearly touch each other. Add potting soil so that the top half
of the bulbs remain exposed, and water them well.
Paperwhites will bloom four to eight weeks after potting. For a
continuous show of color, start new pots of bulbs every few weeks. They
bloom only once, so discard the bulbs after they have flowered or save
them for planting in your flowerbed.
