Amaryllis are the best to purchase before the winter months, as the 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. To stagger planting and blooming, store amaryllis bulbs at about 50°F.How to Store Amaryllis Bulbs Before Planting
Store amaryllis bulbs in a cool, dark place with no water or fertilizer until you are ready to plant them. The best places for the cool period are in the refrigerator (not the crisper drawer), basement or in a garage at about 50°F.Can You Plant Amaryllis Bulbs Outside?
After the last frost date, you may plant amaryllis bulbs in your garden. Choose a sunny, well-drained location for your amaryllis bulbs. Dig to a depth of 12-15" and enrich the soil with organic matter. Replace about 9" of soil and plant the bulbs 4-6" apart. In zones 9-10, plant bulbs only 1-2" deep. Amaryllis do not like to be disturbed once planted. They grow about 18" tall and are hardy in zones 8-10.Caring for Amaryllis Bulbs
Amaryllis are a magnificent flower to display and brighten up any setting. After planting amaryllis bulbs in an appropriately sized pot, water the bulbs if the soil feels dry to the touch. Water more frequently after the stem starts growing. In a few weeks, you'll have beautiful amaryllis flowers. Once the amaryllis is done blooming, deadhead the flowers but keep the foliage to help product food for next year's blooms.For tips on how to care for them both indoors and outdoors, read our in depth planting amaryllis guide.
