Bulbs For Forcing Into Winter Bloom:
Fragrant Paperwhites and magnificent Amaryllis are well known for blooming inside when the weather is cold outside. They are available in fall. There are also specially prepared Hyacinths that can be "forced" into winter flowering. In addition, there is a designation on certain Crocus, Tulips, and Daffodils that states on the packaging "suitable for forcing".
Follow the planting instructions on the packaging and, in all cases, use a light, sterilized potting soil for indoor use with a layer of gravel or broken potshards at the bottom of your planter. Don't over water or you'll end up with long, floppy stems. Warmth and just a bit of moisture are enough to trigger flowering.
