Hippeastrum (commonly known as amaryllis) are popular for their indoor holiday color & are often given as gifts from October through January. They are Super easy to grow & are most impressive flowers. Their huge blossoms can measure up to 8" across. We ship our amaryllis bulbs as bulbs - not kits - nor pre-planted, so that you can pot them up yourself in your favorite pot. We only ship one large blooming bulb size to ensure well proportioned plants, which are guaranteed to produce large vibrant blooms for you. Bulb circumference dictates the bulb size. The larger the bulb, the more flowers it will produce. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers. They are tropical & subtropical. All you will need to do is plant them up & water. But best of all, they can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come. If you want your amaryllis to bloom in time for the holidays, it's best to use this African grown variety "Merry Christmas," they are grown in the southern Hemisphere, & thus take less time to bloom once potted (4-6 weeks). hippeastrum (amaryllis) is a tender bulb & needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America. In USDA zones 9-12, they can actually be planted outside, as long as they are protected during freezing temperatures. Plant them outside with the neck sticking out of the ground, water, fertilizing after the leaves appear, & repeating several times in spring. Then, let nature take its course.
