Getting paperwhites to bloom

Question

Leaves are growing but no blooms. They are inside. I’m in zone 10. Would they do better outside?

Answer 1

Paperwhite, botanical name Narcissus papyraceus, is hardy in zones 7 to 10, so you can move them outside. This might help a lot since having more light encourages many flowers to bloom. Check this article for other reasons why you might not see blooms:

If it has already bloomed once, see this article:
