Amaryllis Barbados

One of our most popular amaryllis for gifting! Each large, 7", dark red bloom has a contrasting white star. Amaryllis Barbados adds a festive feel to holiday displays. The flowers sit atop 18-24" stems—so they're sure to get noticed! Our jumbo-sized bulbs will produce three huge stems, each with 4-5 flowers. Amaryllis bulbs are popular for forcing indoors. Most amaryllis bulbs will bloom about 6-8 weeks after planting. For Christmas blooms, plant the amaryllis bulbs around the end of October to early November; for Thanksgiving blooms, plant the bulbs around the beginning of October. Each order includes instructions and directions for plant care to ensure repeat blooming in successive years.
