Double Amaryllis Marilyn
Double Amaryllis Marilyn
Take your interior floral displays to new levels with this irresistible white amaryllis. Marilyn Double Amaryllis features up to 8" double blooms with a light green cast. They're beautiful on their own—and also stunning with planted with other colors of amaryllis flowers. Growing 18-24" tall, Marilyn Double Amaryllis makes a wonderful holiday gift—and it illuminates rooms with its beautiful white blooms. Eye-catching amaryllis bulbs are a favorite 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.

Prolific bblooms
I purchased a bag of 3 bulbs and shared two bulbs with my neighbors on either side of me. My bulb produced two spikes. The first spike had 3 blooms with the third bloom being over 6 inches wide. The second spike produced 4 blooms. The blooms on the second spike were so heavy that it required me to stake it. Both neighbors reported similar experiences. The bulbs were very easy to grow and bloomed within a month. These are northern hemishere bulbs so rheir normal bloom time is spring but mine bloomed in January. I recommend soaking the roots of the bulb overnight in water prior to planting for quicker blooms. Enclosed are photos of one of the blooms with a ruler in front of it.

Love it so beautiful. One of my favorite
Marilyn is a lovely flower!
Verified Buyer
This is a nice variety to grow along with a few pink or red Amaryllis. I was surprised because the bulbs were rather small But they all did bloom and had double sta.lks. I'll summer them over and see if the bulbs get bigger.
BEAUTIFUL!
Verified Buyer
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It boomed over the holidays...we had out of state family visiting...so they enjoyed it as well.
Best Christmas Present Ever!
Verified Buyer
For Christmas I gave friends potted Marilyn bulbs. It is far and away my favorite present I ever gave. It was so much fun to get regular reports and photos of how each Marilyn was progressing. They were all beautiful and even now, at the end of February, I'm still getting reports of blooms on second shoots!
beautiful blooms
These bulbs were small and only had 1` stalk each but the blooms were fantastic, large and delicate, almost white in the center and light green around the edges, Beautiful!
Big flowering bulbs!

Reliable bloomer
Verified Buyer
Unfailingly large blooms on tall stalk. Very reliable.
Spectacular flowers!!
Verified Buyer
These bulbs were FABULOUS!!!!!!! All of the flowers were at least 8" across! I even had two that were 11" across. (This was on a stem that I cut since it was too heavy to stand on its own or with help in a pot with two others.) I ordered several and planted them to be Christmas gifts to friends. They have just raved about that amaryllis gift. One is still blooming on a second bud stalk. The only other comment was that they were slow in starting. I planted them on November 11 thinking they would be in full bloom for Christmas, but they delayed their blooming until new Year's and after. Still they were a true joy and extended the Christmas season!! Help me pick out something just as fabulous this spring when I'll order for this year's gifts.
Made my dreary winter so much happier.
Verified Buyer
My Marilyn Amaryllis was terrific. It had 7 blossoms not all at once but alternating. I bought three bulbs and each had at least three blooms. It was so beautiful that I put it as my wallpaper on my computer.
