Two popular bulbs for the holiday season are Amaryllis and Paper White Narcissus. Both can be forced indoors. Amaryllis will take 10 to 12 weeks to bloom by Christmas. When planting, leave 1/3 of the bulb above the soil. The Narcissus will take less time, about 4 to 6 weeks – these bulbs can be planted in pebbles. Check out our handout with a method to prevent them from becoming tall and leggy. Ranunculus are known for their beautiful cut flowers. To insure their return, keep the corms dry over the summer.
