Narcissus tazetta 'Italicus'
If you live in more northern parts of the South and long for some sort of paperwhite, then the Italicus is your answer. Fortunately, similar to the Chinese sacred lily, it contains enough orange in the cup of the flower to sweeten the sometimes overpowering fragrance of the regular paperwhites. The most notable aspect of the flowers is their star shaped petals appearing on the numerous flowers emerging from a single bulb. While it looks great by itself, try to avoid planting next to solid paperwhites, as the all white blooms can cause Italicus to appear faded. You can expect solid multiplication and continued blooms for this generation and the next. As a good "rule of thumb" for most bulbs, plant at a depth about three times the height of the bulb.
