Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs (24-Pack)

Narcissus Paperwhites are fragrant narcissus primarily used for indoor forcing. Their sweet scent, coupled with the flower shape and form, make them excellent for indoors. They also require no cooling or special conditions to bloom indoors. Paperwhites bloom weeks after being planted indoors.

Very smal bulbs with corms sprouting from many (an indicator of old bulbs). Only 7 bloomed. I've forced for 40 yrs. Worst.

Very disappointing experience. Small bulbs with sprouting corms from base (old bulb indicator) on many of the bulbs. My first tray (20 bulbs forced) produced 5 measly blooms. Fifteen bulbs did not bloom at all. Similar experience with the next ten bulbs ( total of 2 more blooms). The remaining bulbs are awaiting bloom at this point. To have only gotten 7 blooms is extremely disappointing especially considering the premium price I felt I paid. I've forced paperwhites for 40 years, and never have I had such poor quality bulbs.
No, I do not recommend this product.

All of my bulbs have sprouted without any unusual care. The various suggestions for moving from a cold place to a warm place, blah-blah-blah, can be safely ignored. Good narcissus bulbs are like the alien in "Alien." Once they find a host, there's no stopping them.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've been purchasing paperwhites for several years now to give as holiday gifts. I've bought them from various online vendors. The first year they were wonderful. Every year since then, regardless of the vendor, the quality just hasn't been there- to the point where I questioned why I still bought them. I decided to give them one more try. Home Depot had the best deal, so that's where I bought them. They arrived quickly and are the healthiest bulbs I've had since that 1st year.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Thank you!

I buy many of these in the fall and force them all winter long. They are easy to force and produce beautiful flowers and fragrance for many months when I space out my forcing over a number of weeks. . Never had a bad bulb. Keep well in refrigerator or cold garage. Extend the life of the flowers by cutting and including in a flower arrangement or alone.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Forcing Narcissus is a holiday tradition for me; I buy bulbs every year. This is the first time I bought them from Home Depot. I usually get them from a bulb specialist but was late this year and everyone was out of stock.
These are comparable to bulbs I get from specialists. Solid, quick to sprout, long-lasting and fragrant blooms. Home Depot was quick to ship, too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Very pleasantly surprised about this purchase. Cost was great, delivery was fast, and the bulbs were in good condition with rapid growth. In contrast, another company last year delivered bulbs that were mostly 'rotten' at a higher price. I'm not familiar with this variety and am hoping for great blossoms and aroma when mature.
Yes, I recommend this product.
