Potted Amaryllis (Dutch bulbs)
Amaryllis are gorgeous winter flowers that can be forced indoors and enjoyed at a time when other local flowers are scarce. Depending on conditions and the origin of the bulb, amaryllis can take anywhere from 4-10 weeks to force into bloom. With the potted amaryllis, we've begun the forcing process for you.
These bulbs are jumbo amaryllis, measuring 36/38cm (circumference). In fact, only 2% of the worldwide amaryllis crop is this big! With amaryllis, the bigger the bulb, the grander the display of flowers. These Dutch bulbs typically produce about 2-3 stems (each with about 3-4 blooms) over the course of a few weeks. They generally take longer to force and end up finishing their show in January or February, so be patient with them!
Potted amaryllis come in several bulb/container variations. Choose from the following varieties/colors:
Cherry Nymph-- cherry red double flowers (more than one layer of petals on each bloom)
Sweet Nymph-- pink double flowers (more than one layer of petals on each bloom)
In addition to choosing your bulb, choose your container from the following options:
White Ceramic Cube-- 5 in wide by 5 in tall (no drainage holes)
Round Beige/Blush Ceramic Compote-- 7 in wide by 4 in tall (no drainage holes)
Graphite Round Clay Pot-- 6 in wide by 5.5 in tall (with drainage and saucer)
Beige Round Clay Pot-- 6 in wide by 5.5 in tall (with drainage and saucer)
Black Round Clay Pot--6 in wide by 5.5 in tall (with drainage and saucer)
Gray Round Clay Pot--6 in wide by 5.5 in tall (with drainage and saucer)
If your container does not have drainage, you simply need to be more careful about not overwatering.
All potted amaryllis include potting soil around the bottom 2/3 of the bulb, and Spanish or reindeer moss added as the finishing touch around the top of the bulb. Detailed instructions (including how to get them to rebloom next year!) are included.
