Amaryllis are gorgeous winter flowers that can be forced indoors and enjoyed at a time when other local flowers are scarce. Depending on conditions, amaryllis can take anywhere from 4-8 weeks to force into bloom.
These bulbs are jumbo amaryllis, measuring either 32/34cm or 34/36cm (circumference). With amaryllis, the bigger the bulb, the grander the display of flowers. These bulbs typically produce 2-3 stems (each with 3-4 blooms) over the course of several weeks.
This year's amaryllis bulbs come in many color options:
SINGLES

Bolero-- deep pink
