Paperwhites are sought after for their highly scented flowers. They can be grown outside for spring flowers in milder regions, but they're often 'forced' and grown inside as short-term houseplants. That's because (when grown in warmer conditions inside the home), their flowers will often appear just a few weeks after they're planted - and their sweet perfume will fill the room. In these lower light conditions, many forms can start to get floppy over the season, but 'Galilee' is a new, more compact form, which should be less prone to this.

We recommend planting these bulbs as soon as they are received (planting out or forcing for Christmas indoors). They can arrive already sprouting in advance of an earlier display than other Narcissus, and this is a natural part of a "Paperwhites" life-cycle. If planted outside, the colder temperatures will return the bulb to dormancy until natural flowering early in the new year.
