'Ziva' isn't just for forcing indoors—plant these bulbs in the ground, and they'll come back year after year in the South (USDA Zones 7–10) These are a great size - and price- to plant in masse outdoors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you look at the pictures, you will see how we like to plant paperwhites en masse for the holidays. They are part of our \"annual\" garden beds that we trade out seasonally. \"Annual\" beds can be small and take little work, but give you a fresh look every season. Whether you want them in a specific spot for just a season or you want drifts of fragrant white blooms each winter, these perfectly fit the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bulbs are slightly smaller than the ones we recommend for forcing in pots, making them the perfect size and value for planting en masse outdoors. For Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's blooms, plant with about 1 inch of soil covering the bulbs 5-6 weeks before you want the blooms to appear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach pack contains 25 bulbs, sized 13\/14 cm — a large landscaping grade\u003c\/strong\u003e (a little smaller than the 15\/17 cm bulbs we offer for forcing).
