Easy To Grow Paper White Daffodils for Christmas
We all love fresh flowers and especially love having them in the house at Christmas, Paper Whites are easy to grow, look wonderful and have a scent that reminds me of honey. To be precise they are Narcissi, but are commonly called daffodils.
They are bulbs and the packet states a set distance to plant apart and that they will flower six weeks after planting. As they will only be used once, the distance apart isn't important. Just fill a pot and lightly cover the bulbs with compost. I planted mine on 15th October and they were almost in bloom by the 10th November. I had mine in the unheated green house but a cool corner of a room would be fine. I brought them into the house and within a day or two they were in full bloom. If you'd like fresh flowers for Christmas plant now.
