The narcissus Tazetta ‘Paperwhite Ziva’, continued…
Further to my recent article of January 10th ” Why do my Paperwhites stink? “, here are the results of a small survey conducted on the 2 gardeners’ forums that I attend.
| Paperwhite Narcissus: sweet or foul smell? | Arrosoirs & Sécateurs | Gardeners’ World |
|---|---|---|
| lovely fragrance | 100% | 41% |
| foul smell | 0 | 41% |
| neither sweet nor foul | 0 | 17% |
| they don’t smell | 0 | 0 |
These results are based on a very small sample, and therefore have no statistical value(*). However, I am quite surprised not to see a consensus on the unpleasant smell I personally feel.
