Van Zyverden Amaryllis Economy Red Lion Set of 3 Bulb Red Partial Sun Perennial Easy To Grow 2 lbs Easy holiday indoor color A true classic variety grown worldwide Enjoy for years to come Easy to Grow Full sun to partial shade Perennial Dormant bulb size 26/28 cm Grows 18-24" tall Blooms in winter Red USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10 Ships to 48 contiguous US states, plus the District of Columbia Hippeastrum (Amaryllis) is a tender bulb and needs to be planted in pots indoors throughout most of North America.

In USDA zones 9-12, they can actually be planted outside, as long as they are protected during freezing temperatures. Plant them outside with the neck sticking out of the ground, water, fertilizing after the leaves appear, and repeating several times in spring. Then, let nature take its course.

To grow indoors as a house plant proceed as follows: Select a 6-8" container of your choice, then fill about half the pot with medium. Set the bulb atop the soil, filling in with soil around the bulb to maintain its position. About the top third of the bulb should be left exposed above the soil level, leaving room in the pot for watering.

Amaryllis bulbs like room temperatures, and exposure to sunshine will keep them shorter. As the flower stalk grows towards the light rotate the pot frequently to prevent toppling. Sit back and enjoy! Some gardeners treat their Amaryllis as annuals and simply toss them after flowering. However, they are fairly easily induced to re-flower next year.

To re-grow follow these steps: After flowering, cut off the flower stalk just above the neck of the bulb, but be sure to leave the foliage, as it will play a critical role in rebuilding the bulb and prepare it for future blooming. Place the pot in a sunny window, and only water when the soil is dry. Fertilize regularly.

After danger of frost, place pot outside until fall, when frost kills the leaves off. Then, having removed the foliage, let the potted bulb rest by storing it in a cool, dry place for 2.5 months. Do not water it. Thereafter, restart the process as stated above.
