Indoor Flowering Narcissi Paperwhite Grandiflora Ziva
N0725
Description
Trusses of twinkling white flowers emit a heavenly perfume into the home when they bloom on Paperwhite Narcissus ‘Ziva.’
This pure white, classic indoor Narcissus is often grown and forced to flower at Christmastime, creating a stylish and scented festive display.
Plant the bulbs soon after you receive them and store in a cold, dark place to form roots if you wish to delay flowering. Expect blooms 4-5 weeks after planting or once placed on a sunny windowsill. The bulbs can also be grown on a layer of gravel or small pebbles and water.
Each stem will produce up to 10 delicate blooms.
Care Guide
Do very well if planted in pots filled with a good quality potting compost. Keep them moist and warm and you will get excellent results.
Can also be planted in pebbles with water up to the base of the bulb. Paperwhites look their most attractive when planted in tight bunches, and perform so much better when crowded together.
You will get 4/5 blooms to a stem and 2/3 stems from each bulb: for example, planting 7 bulbs in a bowl could produce as many as 60+ blooms. Place directly in window and they will flower in 6 to 8 weeks.
