I have forced paperwhites many times but have never saved them to rebloom the following year.

In double checking that they will not bloom, I offer this quote from White Flower Farm --
a well known garden and plant supply company in Connecticut, who has been in business for over 60 years:


After Paperwhites finish blooming,
we recommend that you throw the bulbs out
or toss them on the compost pile.

They won't bloom again indoors.
