Amaryllis Bulbs
Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species) genus of plant also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies. The single species, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest region near the Cape. It is often confused with Hippeastrum, a flowering bulb commonly sold in the winter months for its ability to bloom indoors.

Amaryllis Evergreen
Zones 8-11
Brings unusual color to the late-winter home!When we saw this stunning new Amaryllis in Holland, we knew we must offer it. The blooms are very long-lasting, with long, slender, slightly recurved petals of lime-green, darkening toward the center into a star shape. They arise several to a stem on sturdy, compact plants that need no staking. Absolutely unparalleled for holiday decoration, they are also a fine addition to the late-winter home, brightening the room with one-of-a-kind color. There has never been an Amaryllis like 'Evergreen' available for American gardeners before!
This bulb is hardy only in zones 8-11, but can be grown year after year as a winter-blooming houseplant. Pot it up in October and leave it in bright light until the blooms begin to appear. Then set it in indirect light and enjoy many weeks of splendid color! Let the blooms pass and the foliage turn brown and fall over before storing it for next holiday's display.
Easy and stunningly beautiful, Amaryllis Evergreen makes a very special gift.
Amaryllis Stars and Stripes
Zones 8-11
Compact and CheeryBig, fully formed double blooms on low-growing, sturdy plants.
Here's a color combination you don't see everyday - bright orange-red blooms generously striped with white! With stems just 13 1/2 inches high, this South African Amaryllis almost qualifies as a miniature, making the 7-inch blooms look even larger! Stars and StripesĀ® is ready to bloom in 32 days after planting and produces 4 to 7 blooms per plant.
South African Amaryllis are much quicker to bloom (ready in just 4 to 6 weeks), easier to care for, and more willing to transfer to the garden after flowering than traditional varieties. If you live south of zone 7, just plant them out after their winter display, and they will form big colonies within a few short years. Everywhere else, sink them (pot and all) intro the warm spring soil to rest until it's time for another glorious season of indoor winter color. Start them just 4 to 6 weeks before desired bloomtime!

Each bloom is a fascinating sight, presenting a cool, rarely seen color in Amaryllis, and they last for weeks!
