Paperwhites 2


Paperwhites II • this painting is sold

Heavy scented, white trumpeted flowers, the Paperwhite Narcissus is a joy to grow. And, it's oh so easy to grow, too!

A native to Europe and Asia, it is now grown around the world. Paperwhites are a small member of the Narcissus family (Daffodils and Jonquils are larger family members). What Paperwhites lack in size, they make up for in fragrance and charm. For little flowers, they are big in the popularity department. These spring blooming flowers are equally popular grown as an indoor houseplant. Growing them indoors adds bright, cheery blooms, and a sweet scent, to an otherwise dreary winter 's day.

As their name suggests, Paperwhites are white. But, you can find these trumpet shaped flowers in yellow too.

Did you know? Narcissus were named after the legendary Greek youth Narcissus who was strikingly handsome.
