Overview

Multiheaded Daffodil Paperwhite 'Ziva': The Fragrant Winter Classic

Bring the sparkle of spring into your home during the depths of winter with Narcissus 'Ziva', the most popular and reliable Paperwhite daffodil available. Unlike standard garden daffodils, this variety is typically grown for indoor forcing, meaning it requires no cold period to bloom. It produces tall, elegant stems topped with dense clusters of star-shaped, pure snowy-white flowers. Famous for its rapid growth, 'Ziva' is the classic choice for Christmas flowering, filling your home with its signature intense, musky perfume when the garden outside is dormant.

Key Features

• Fast & Easy Blooming: 'Ziva' is the fastest of all daffodils to flower. Once planted indoors, it typically blooms within 4 to 6 weeks, providing almost instant gratification.

• Pure White Elegance: The flowers are completely monochromatic, featuring snowy white petals and a matching white cup, making them perfect for modern, minimalist holiday displays.

• Room-Filling Fragrance: Famous (and potent), the scent of Paperwhites is unmistakable. A single pot can scent an entire room with a rich, spicy-sweet aroma.

• No Chilling Required: Unlike outdoor bulbs that need a "winter" to activate, these come ready to grow immediately, making them perfect for glass vases with pebbles or shallow bowls of soil.

Gardener's Tip

Paperwhites like 'Ziva' can grow quite tall and may become "leggy" or flop over in the warmth of a central-heated house. To keep them sturdy, grow them in a cool, bright spot (around 15°C) away from radiators. If you are growing them in a glass vase with water and pebbles, ensure the water level just touches the base of the bulb—do not submerge the bulb itself, or it may rot.
