Double Amaryllis Amarantia

Double Amaryllis Amarantia

One of the most impressive red amaryllis we've found! The intense, deep red, 7", double flowers are spectacular, and the blue-green foliage complements them beautifully. Growing 14-16" tall, Amarantia Double Amaryllis makes a wonderful holiday gift and adds a festive touch during the winter months. Each bulb produces 1-2 stems, each with at least 4 flowers. 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.
