This year I purchased my Paperwhite Bulbs at my favorite garden center,
Barlows in Sea Girt, New Jersey
I planted them late this year, later than I usually do.
I always plant them in the same pot, I use the same stones,
you can use either stones or soil.
I only planted 6, that's really all you need for a pot this size.
They looked like this on December 18th, right after I planted them.

It was late for them too, so they had a head start "sprouting"!
They grew very quickly and on December 27th, they looked like this.
January 2nd, in the full sunlight, they were gorgeous!
This is a wonderful bulb to force in your home.
Fast growing, very rewarding...you can smell them in any room of the house.

Oh my they are lovely and I can only imagine the smell. I always have wanted to do this and then forget all about it.

They are a glorious tease for spring in the heart of winter. Beautiful!
A touch of Springtime! They are perfect (and I remember that aroma!)
Your Paperwhites are beautiful . I tried some this year and was very disappointed .

Debbie - what an inspiration! The purity of the white and the profusion of blooms gives me hope in these times when events can seem a bit gloomy.
They are so pretty!
I really need to do that one of these years, I just can't get over how fast they grow and they are beautiful all in bloom together, I can just imagine the smell!
