( from Mrs. FMF Doc)
"Paper whites are different from Amaryllis- they may not be salvageable because they have been pre-chilled and 'forced'. Google should provide you with clear info.
Amaryllis can be planted directly into our gardens here, once all danger of frost is past (usually March 16th) - they get spectacular over time!
Again, do some research as to planting instructions."
Happy Gardening
