White Amaryllis blooming in time lapse
Amaryllis
Master Gardeners - This bulb will light up some faces
Bulbs purchased and potted now will bloom in three to six weeks, but the enjoyment doesn’t end after the flowers fade. Amaryllis are hardy bulbs in our area, which means they can be planted outside in the landscape in spring, to multiply and bloom for years to come.
Purchasing bulbsMany garden centers currently have specially prepared bulbs or kits in stock. Kits usually include potting soil, a container and a bulb (make great gifts). Individual bulbs may also be purchased.
Amaryllis bulbs that are sold for forcing have been prepared to bloom in winter by being kept dry and cool for a specific length of time. Bulbs should not be dug from the garden for forcing since they will not bloom at this time of year.
When purchasing amaryllis bulbs, make sure you purchase a large, firm bulb free of cuts or bruises. Bulb size is important because the flowers the plant will produce are already inside the bulb. Larger bulbs will have larger flowers and will produce more flowering stalks.
