Originally from Central and South America and grows outdoors in Zones 9–10. In frostier climes we plant these magnificent easy-to-grow hybrid marvels indoors and enjoy blooms during the winter.

If you don’t plant the bulbs right away, store them in a cool dry dark place. Amaryllis bulbs generally produce two or more flower stalks, each bearing 3-4 blooms. Remove the pollen-bearing anthers for a longer bloom time and a neater tabletop. With simple care and proper soil nutrients, amaryllis can return year after year.
