Double Amaryllis Amarantia
Double Amaryllis Amarantia
One of the most impressive red amaryllis we've found! The intense, deep red, 7", double flowers are spectacular, and the blue-green foliage complements them beautifully. Growing 14-16" tall, Amarantia Double Amaryllis makes a wonderful holiday gift and adds a festive touch during the winter months. Each bulb produces 1-2 stems, each with at least 4 flowers. 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.

Verified Buyer
3 Bulbs purchased...I put them together in one pot... hoping for a big show....got one partial bloom on one bulb...other 2 didn't bloom .at all... don't know what you did to them before i got them... but it was very poor performance...I have been growing Amaryllis for over 40 years... I will go back to my reliable bulb sources next year..

Can these be planted outside in a small garden with partial sun/shade? We have hot summers (90s-100s) and cool winters (40s)
