Know before you buy
Yes, these bulbs are excellent for indoor water culture. You can simply place them in a bowl with decorative stones and enough water to reach the base of the bulb, ensuring the bulb itself stays dry to prevent rot.
If planting outdoors in a garden bed, bury the bulbs approximately 6 inches deep. If you are planting them in containers indoors, you should leave the top third of the bulb exposed above the soil or stones.
Ziva Paperwhites are best suited for hardiness zones 9, 10, and 11. If you live in a colder climate, they should be treated as indoor plants or potted so they can be moved inside before the first frost.
No, these bulbs are naturally resistant to both deer and rabbits. Their scent and taste are typically unappealing to these garden pests, making them a safe choice for outdoor planting.
Once fully mature, these plants typically reach a height of 14 to 16 inches. Their upright, clumping growth habit makes them ideal for container displays.
You can expect blooms during the fall and winter months. Because they are fast-growing, they are a popular choice for adding color and fragrance to your home during the colder season.
