Description
Gracefully uncomplicated and quietly transformative, Narcissus 'Paperwhite' is an indoor bulb to turn to whenever your home needs a lift. Carefully programmed for dependable flowering throughout the year, these paperwhites can be planted at any moment and will respond with elegant blooms in just a few short weeks. Slender stems rise quickly, carrying clusters of pristine white flowers that feel light, calm, and effortlessly stylish. Narcissus 'Paperwhite' is equally happy grown in compost or arranged among pebbles and water, making it wonderfully adaptable for shelves, windowsills, or dining tables. Its unfussy nature makes it ideal for beginners, yet its refined beauty never feels ordinary.
What makes Narcissus 'Paperwhite' especially appealing is its versatility. Indoors, it offers speed, scent, and reliability, flowering with minimal encouragement. During the milder months, these paperwhite daffodils can also be planted outdoors in pots or sheltered borders, where it brings a softer, more natural presence to patios and terraces. The fragrance is distinctive and gently evocative, filling a space without overwhelming it. Neither fleeting nor demanding, Narcissus 'Paperwhite' settles easily into everyday life, providing a simple rhythm of planting and reward. Keep a few bulbs to hand and Narcissus 'Paperwhite' becomes a quiet pleasure you can return to whenever you wish, indoors or out.
The name paperwhite refers to petals so thin and translucent they appear almost papery when light passes through them.
