Paper Whites

Frankfort, KY(Zone 6a)

I set these 3 weeks ago and they started growing out of there smaller bowls, so I replanted them.
Today I started using a 5 percent alcohol solution in the water to retard their growth.
Is any one growing this type of narcissus ?
After they finish blooming can I set them in soil and plant them out this spring ?

It is suggested to discard them after blooming.

You can plant them outside in Southern Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and California

finegardening.com has videos on how to start paperwhites and other bulbs inside. Interesting that you don't have to plant them as deep when you plant them inside. Interesting video, if you want to check it out. I love to buy amaryllis bulbs at Xmas Time and when there's snow outside, the beauty and sweet smell is intoxicating inside.
