Amaryllis 'Candy Nymph,' one bulb in linen bag

Not only is this shade of grenadine a novelty, Amaryllis 'Candy Nymph' occasionally produces up to 6 impressive, 8-9" blooms per sturdy stem. Each frilly flower faces slightly upward and is packed with velvety petals. Each bareroot bulb arrives in a reusable linen bag, ideal for gifting.

The shapely blooms and rich, iridescent colors of Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) light up a day like nothing else we know. Shipped directly to us from growers in the Netherlands, our premium-grade bulbs are, with few exceptions, the largest commercially available. They require only warm temperatures, attention to watering, and bright light to deliver a truly spectacular performance – a process that is great fun to watch.

Please allow 8–10 weeks from receipt for Amaryllis bulbs to bloom. Our bulbs are guaranteed to produce two flower stems, most with four blossoms apiece.

While our Amaryllis bulbs come from the Netherlands and South Africa, the 100 or more species of Amaryllis in the genus Hippeastrum are native to Central and South America, where they grow in tropical, subtropical, and temperate environments. These bulbous perennials (not to be confused with the genus Amaryllis, otherwise called Naked Ladies or Jersey Lilies, native to South Africa) send forth fleshy, strap-shaped leaves and sturdy stems that bear multiple trumpet-like blossoms. In the Northern Hemisphere, large-flowering Amaryllis hybrids are grown indoors to brighten up living spaces. Colorful and carefree, they make a fabulous gift for anyone on your list, gardener or otherwise. Although many devotees grow new bulbs each year, existing plants will, with proper care, rebloom year after year. In Zones 8–10, Amaryllis make beautiful perennial garden plants, in colder zones Amaryllis can be planted outdoors and lifted in the fall to be stored indoors.
