Have you ever been successful in keeping your paperwhite narcissus over the summer ....?

...and then getting them to bloom again for Christmas? I do not like to throw away bulbs.





If home growers cannot do this, how do the commercial growers supply us with new bulbs? Maybe it is easier to throw away the old ones and buy new ones?

Like answerer #1, I had heard that you could plant them outside, and I did so, but they never came up.
Reply:after the initital indoor bloom season, plant the bulbs outside, they will come up and bloom the following year because they will be on a natural light cycle. only an experienced grower would be able to duplicate this cycle, thats why the commercial suppiers have them blooming at the right time. so after they leave the greenhouse they were started in you will need to put them on a natural cycle by planting them outside.
