How to Plant Paperwhites (Narcissus Tazetta)
Where to Plant:
-
Indoors: Best for festive winter blooms. Ideal in pots, bowls, or vases.
-
Outdoors (in mild climates): Plant in borders or containers with free-draining soil in a sunny, sheltered spot. Not fully hardy in colder UK regions.
Indoor Planting (For Winter Blooms):
- Plant late autumn (October–December) for flowers within 4–6 weeks — perfect for Christmas!
- A shallow pot or decorative bowl (no drainage holes needed).
- Bulb fibre, multi-purpose compost, or just decorative gravel/pebbles.
- Place a layer of compost or pebbles in the bottom of your container.
- Nestle bulbs close together (pointy end up), but not touching.
- Cover just the bottom half of the bulbs with compost or pebbles.
- Water lightly — just enough to moisten. Don’t soak!
- If your Paperwhites get tall and leggy, add a stake for support or try growing in a tall glass vase for natural stability.
Outdoor Planting in Containers:
-
Plant late autumn, before the first hard frost.
-
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil or use containers.
-
Plant bulbs 10cm (4") deep and about 7–10cm (3–4") apart.
-
Water in after planting, then keep soil just moist during growth.
