Each bulb sends up more than two stems that shoot up offering a nice solid bouquet of flowers — a single stem can carry from 4-8 or more snowy white blooms. Flower stalks are generally stronger than those of the most popular paperwhites, so they stand tall without flopping. It also reportedly has a nicer fragrance than the old fashioned paperwhites, so be sure to let us know what you think of the fragrance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach pack contains 10 bulbs, sized 14\/15 cm — a little smaller than our other forcing paperwhites, and that is exactly why we love them: the perfect size for anywhere.\u003c\/strong\u003e Tuck more bulbs into each pot for a fuller forced bouquet, or stretch them further when planting en masse in the landscape.
