Narcissi Tazetta 'Paperwhite Grand Soleil d'Or'
Paperwhite
Narcissus 'Grand Soleil d'Or' is a tazetta daffodil, primarily suited for indoor forcing. It reaches 12 to 14 inches in height and produces clusters of 10–20 small, scented blooms per stem, with golden-yellow petals surrounding a short orange cup. The flowers appear 4–6 weeks after planting, making them ideal for holiday displays and winter blooms.
Thriving in bright, indirect light, 'Grand Soleil d'Or' prefers well-drained soil or water forcing on pebbles. It does not require a cold period, unlike most daffodils, and should be kept at temperatures around 60–65°F for optimal flowering. This variety has been cultivated for centuries, with records dating back to before 1770.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Tazetta 'Paperwhite Grand Soleil d'Or'
Planting Options
In water: Use a shallow container without drainage holes. Add 2–3 inches of pebbles or glass beads, nestle bulbs (pointy side up), and add water just to touch the base of the bulbs—don’t submerge them.
In soil: Use a pot with drainage holes. Fill halfway with potting mix, place bulbs close together, and cover so the top third remains exposed.
Light & Temperature
Start in a cool, dark place (50–60°F) for root development.
Once roots form (7–10 days), move to bright, indirect light at 60–70°F.
Rotate the pot regularly to keep stems straight.
Watering
Keep water just touching the bulb base (in water culture) or soil lightly moist (in soil).
Never let bulbs sit in standing water—this causes rot.
Support
Stems can grow tall and floppy. Stake with twine: once shoots are 2–3 inches tall, replace water with a mix of 1 part gin (or vodka) to 7 parts water to stunt height without harming blooms.
Bloom Time
Expect fragrant white blooms in 3–6 weeks. For holiday flowers, plant by mid-November.
After Blooming
Paperwhites forced indoors typically don’t rebloom. Compost the bulbs or plant outdoors in warm climates (zones 8–11).
