    Paper whites

    I got some paper whites on offer, only I didnt realise they had been treated to flower indoors in a few weeks. They have flowered now, my Q is.... can they be planted outside to grow outdoors in future. Or have i got a tender variety only suitable for indoor growing?

    No problem, just plant out the whole bowlful when they have finished flowering.

      I bought some, as well, and the labels said Christmad flowering - but they're flowering now, as is my Christmad Cactus. I think their clocks are confused !

        You can plant them outside after they've flowered. You can also "force" "normal" bulbs yourself: Bulbs for Christmas flowering / Royal Horticultural Society

          Aw brilliant....thanks for that. They'll be gorgeous outside next time they flower. Will they need any feed? I always feel they become a bit exausted once they've been forced.

            No, bulbs have all the energy they need, contained within the bulb. You're right about weakening them though, so only force them the once.
            Next time you force, use new bulbs
