$31.00 $28.95
Few bulbs deliver as much impact with as little effort as the Ziva Paperwhite Narcissus. Prized by florists and home gardeners alike, Ziva is the most popular forcing paperwhite in the world — and for good reason. Plant it in water, soil, or gravel, and within 3–5 weeks you'll have clusters of pure white, intensely fragrant blooms that transform any room into a winter garden.
Each bulb in this pack is 14–15cm in circumference — a premium, exhibition-grade size that produces multiple flower stems per bulb for a fuller, more dramatic display.
Place bulbs pointed-end up in a shallow dish with pebbles or in a pot with well-draining soil. Add water just to the base of the bulbs (not covering them). Set in a cool, bright spot. Once shoots appear, move to a sunny windowsill. Enjoy blooms in as little as 3 weeks!
Do Ziva Paperwhites need to be refrigerated before planting?
No — unlike tulips or hyacinths, Ziva Paperwhites require no cold pre-chilling. They are ready to plant straight from the bag and will bloom in 3–5 weeks.
Can I grow these bulbs in just water and pebbles?
Absolutely. Ziva is one of the best bulbs for water forcing. Place bulbs on a layer of pebbles in a shallow bowl, add water to just below the base of the bulbs, and watch them grow.
Will these bulbs rebloom next year?
In USDA zones 8–10, paperwhites can be left in the ground to naturalize and rebloom. In colder zones, they are typically grown as annuals or discarded after forcing indoors.
How many flowers will each bulb produce?
At 14–15cm, each bulb typically produces 2–4 flower stems, each bearing a cluster of 5–10 small white blooms — making this pack of 10 bulbs a truly spectacular display.
When should I plant for Christmas blooms?
Count back 4–6 weeks from your desired bloom date. For Christmas blooms, plant in mid-to-late November. For Hanukkah or Thanksgiving, plant in late October to early November.
