Amaryllis Barbados
Amaryllis Barbados
One of our most popular amaryllis for gifting! Each large, 7", dark red bloom has a contrasting white star. Amaryllis Barbados adds a festive feel to holiday displays. The flowers sit atop 18-24" stems—so they're sure to get noticed! Our jumbo-sized bulbs will produce three huge stems, each with 4-5 flowers. Amaryllis bulbs are popular for forcing indoors. Most amaryllis bulbs will bloom about 6-8 weeks after planting. For Christmas blooms, plant the amaryllis bulbs around the end of October to early November; for Thanksgiving blooms, plant the bulbs around the beginning of October. Each order includes instructions and directions for plant care to ensure repeat blooming in successive years.

unbelievably beautiful
huge blossoms, deep red velvet color. I so enjoy growing and sharing Amaryllis with family and friends. My niece's husband didn't think they were real they were too perfect.
Showstopper red Amarylis
Verified Buyer
I was late planting them as I'd forgotten about it in the refrigerator but they were amazing! The picture doesn't do it justice! Would definitely buy more!
Disappointed
Verified Buyer
Disappointed!! 4 bulbs started to rot soon after planting. Flowers that did bloom were small and didn't last long. These are to expensive for me to take another chance of purchasing.

Have numerous amaryllis but these three bulbs bloomed at the same time and were outstanding. Received compliments from visitors and family when they saw them in full bloom. Really brilliant amaryllis.

Two stalks blooming now on one plant. Just gorgeous!
Unbelievably gorgeous
Really sturdy stalks and huge, deep red flowers. The bulbs were HUGE! Stunning in a grouping. Of the three bulbs I bought, two produced two stalks. All the bulbs had stalks with four flowers each.
