Paperwhites
-
Kim L on Apr 25, 2014I sure wish I could help you because I LOVE Paperwhites. Mine flourished in a large vase w/water a couple months back, most bloomed, but other buds died before blooming. I just transplanted the bulbs to a very large planter in hopes they come up again next spring! We'll only have to wait and see what happens!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Apr 25, 2014I'm afraid they won't. I plant them out in my garden in Florida, but they are not winter-hardy where the ground freezes.Helpful Reply

Dorette Peterson on Apr 26, 2014I also live in CA... It doesn't freeze where I live either. I have mine in garden pots and when the foliage dies I cut them back and put the pots in the garden shed. They come back every year! Olivia is adorable by the way ;)Helpful Reply

Kim L on Apr 26, 2014Dorette has a good point that I never thought about!! Transplant the Paperwhites into a large enough pot, cut the foliage back and put them in a dark place....like your basement or shed and bring them back into your home next spring! This happens to be the process one can do with all types of bulbs!Helpful Reply

Donna Bennett on Apr 26, 2014I've lived in CA all my life and my Mom dug up certain bulbs and stored them in her shed. If you have snow you would want to dig them up. Why don't you leave them in the pot and grow them again (inside).Helpful Reply
