    Customer photo review of Paperwhite Narcissus Bulbs - Ziva

    There was no label on the package of bulbs to indicate what kind they are: Eden Brothers charges $25 for 10 of these bulbs. They looked at a screenshot that I took of the bulbs, along with several other packages of daffodil bulbs and they’re “sure they sent me the correct ones”. I had planned to plant them in pots, but not knowing what they were, I planted them in the ground. This isn’t the first time they’ve sent me the wrong product. They’re “so sorry” for the inconvenience. I’m so sorry I spent several hundred dollars with this fly by night reseller of seeds and bulbs. They’re just a distributor and they can’t get it right. Stay away from this distributor.

    I finally decided to force some paperwhites indoors this winter and have been so impressed. The bulbs are so much healthier and larger than ones I picked up at a big box store. All of the bulbs sprouted and produced so many blooms! I planted some in traditional potting soil and forced others in rocks and water, bulbs performed the same in both environments. Very pleased!
