Paperwhites
A fragrant favorite for the holidays, paperwhites burst into bloom just a few short weeks after planting. No chilling needed, ever. Tuck several into pebbles around Thanksgiving, water, provide bright light and you'll have scented blooms for Christmas. Or start in early December for fresh, fragrant flowers to usher in the New Year. What could be simpler?
Plant timeless white Ziva or choose another variety to expand your color and scent options. For the cost of a Friday's pizza and beer you'll have intoxicating aroma and dazzling blooms for weeks.
Note: Prices below are for bags of 10 bulbs, all in the largest commercially available sizes.
