Paperwhite 'Ariel' is an earlier bloomer than the familiar 'Ziva' and is also blessed with an even sweeter fragrance. Its snowy white clusters, up to 14-18 large flowers per stem, make a dramatic centerpiece or holiday bouquet. Grows 12-15" tall. Easy instructions included. 12 bulbs in White Flower Farm linen bag. The perfect flowering gift for teachers, hostesses, and friends.
Paperwhites belong to a group of Daffodils that are not hardy in Litchfield, CT, but are easily grown in a pot or vase indoors. Their large clusters of pure white flowers arch above graceful, blue-green foliage, and their perfume fills a room with fragrance. Paperwhites require no preparation and are absolutely foolproof. When bulbs are planted in early December, they will flower in 4-6 weeks with seldom a miss. If you start your plantings at 2- to 4-week intervals you can keep the show running all winter. Bulbs may be held for weeks in a warm, dark closet, which allows plenty of flexibility in orchestrating displays for holidays or other special occasions. Please note: Paperwhites can be planted outdoors if your climate permits. They are winter hardy to Zone 8 (10°F) and will endure all but the harshest of winters in Zone 7 (0°F)

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
WHEN WE SHIP
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the Shipping Details box for each item. Please refer to the Shipping Details box to determine the earliest shipping time.

SO excited to get the bulbs from White Farm. They were a complete flop and died. The bulbs from Kroger supermarket did much better. SO bummed.
I am sorry to learn these bulbs did not grow and bloom as expected. As they are guaranteed, I will be contacting you via email regarding compensation.A viewer from Philadelphia

Last year I paid $26.00 plus $9.95 for s/h. Now the price is $32.00 plus s/h. This price and price increase for 12 bulbs is out of my cosideration of value for the price. I'll get my bulbs from Lowe's first!
Dear Mr. WoodcockPaperwhites require little more than to be potted and watered to produce clusters of fragrant blooms.
