PRESALE Fall 2026 Shipping Schedule: 10/2/2026 Amaryllis bulbs (Hippeastrum) are popular for indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. Easy to grow and impressive in bloom, they produce large blossoms that can measure up to 8 inches across. Because bulbs are natural storage organs, they already contain the energy needed to produce flowers. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, Amaryllis need only planting, watering, warmth, and light to perform beautifully indoors. Best of all, they can be encouraged to rebloom indoors for years to come. About this Variety This Amaryllis kit comes with everything you need to grow beautiful indoor blooms: one 'Ludwig Dazzler' Amaryllis bulb, a 5" x 5.25" trendy white plastic conical decorative outer planter, planting medium, and a set of growing instructions. Because bulbs are natural storage organs, they already contain the energy needed to produce flowers. Highlights Guaranteed to grow Complete kit includes bulb, planter, growing medium, and instructions Easy indoor holiday color Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Blooms: Winter Height: Grows 18-24" tall Spacing/Depth: Plant 1-2" deep USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 9-10 Growing Instructions Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) is a tender bulb and should be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America. To grow indoors as a houseplant, expand the soil block included with the kit according to the directions, then fill about half the pot with the planting medium. Set the bulb on top of the soil, filling in around the bulb to hold it in place. Leave the top third of the bulb exposed above the soil level and allow room in the pot for watering. Amaryllis bulbs prefer normal room temperatures, and exposure to bright light helps keep the stems shorter. As the flower stalk grows toward the light, rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy! Care Tip Some gardeners treat Amaryllis as annuals and discard them after flowering, but they can often be encouraged to rebloom the following year. After flowering, cut off the flower stalk just above the neck of the bulb, leaving the foliage in place so it can help rebuild the bulb for future blooming. Place the pot in a sunny window and water only when the soil is dry. Fertilize regularly. After all danger of frost has passed, move the pot outdoors until fall, then bring it back inside before frost. Once the foliage has been removed, allow the potted bulb to rest in a cool, dry place for about 10 weeks. Do not water during the rest period. Afterward, restart the growing process as directed above.
