Hippeastrum. Amaryllis are the art and soul of winter. Our absolutely gigantic Amaryllis bulbs create staggering plants and massive flowers unseen by most winter-weary mortals. If you’ve ever been to the floating flower market in Amsterdam, you may have seen Amaryllis bulbs almost this huge. These colossal bulbs often yield three successive stems adorned with four stupendous flowers. Although there are no guarantees from Mother Nature, Dutch Amaryllis usually flower in eight to twelve weeks once potted. (If you want Amaryllis to bloom for Christmas, please choose from among our fine collection of Christmas Flowering Amaryllis.) We start shipping Dutch Amaryllis in mid-October once we receive them from the annual harvest in the Netherlands. Harvest bulb size: 40 cm (with the exception of Pink that makes a huge 38 cm bulb). These big bulbs are each shipped bareroot for planting in your own big pots. For complete storage, planting instructions and horticultural information, click:
