Paperwhites are wonderful bulbs that do well in the Deep South. They have an interesting fragrance that I don't particularly love. However, at this time of year they are some of the only things in bloom - especially this year of the extra cold weather (for the South.) I see them blooming all over abandoned yards and thriving on neglect. The ones in this picture are some extra bulbs that I just threw into a pot I had lying around. With no care at all they are cheerfully providing happy color in a sea of brown out in my yard. Talk about just what the doctor ordered for this time of year. Plant you some.

Some of the more tender tazettas formed foliage but didn't send up buds here. After the freezes, the foliage kind of folded. I did have paperwhite blossoms in one protected spot.
You are in just a smidge warmer climate than I am, I believe. We do have regular daffodils opening now.
