The shapely blooms and rich, iridescent colors of Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) light up a cold 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. We start shipping Amaryllis bulbs in mid-November. (Note: We also import bulbs from South Africa, which are grown on an earlier timetable and typically start shipping in late September.)

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 during the winter months. Colorful and carefree, they make a fabulous gift for anyone on your list, gardener or otherwise. Although many devotees grow new bulbs each winter, existing plants will, with proper care, rebloom year after year. In Zones 8–10, Amaryllis also make beautiful garden plants during the growing season.

Please note: Amaryllis height may vary. Plants tend to be taller when grown under lower light conditions. For more information on Amaryllis care, click Growing Guide.
