Thanks. I had ordered some paper whites for outdoor purposes. I have seen these magazines during Christmas time. I will get some started right away.
Hello Betty,
You pot them up and then put them into a cold dark place where they don't get light and leave for a month. Then when you take them out they will think it is spring and start to grow.
You just plant them indoors. and keep watered and give sufficient light.
