Starting amaryllis from bulbs in containers

Season after season, bright and bold colors, big blooms and lush leaves emerge from amaryllis bulbs. Good quality amaryllis bulbs may produce single or multiple flowers on a single stalk. The larger the bulb, the larger the flower. Large bulbs may produce up to three flower stalks. It's possible some bulbs could bloom in the summer as well as the winter, depending on the temperature and other growing conditions.

Amaryllis thrive in containers, love sunshine and are easy to care for. After planting, the bulbs can produce their showy blooms about six weeks later if properly moved through the stages of dormancy and growth.
