Hippeastrum (commonly known as Amaryllis) are popular for their indoor holiday color and are often given as gifts from October through January. They are super easy to grow and are most impressive flowers. Their huge blossoms can measure up to 8 In. across. We ship our Amaryllis bulbs as bulbs - not kits - nor pre-planted, so that you can pot them up yourself in your favorite pot. We only ship one large blooming bulb size to ensure well proportioned plants, which are guaranteed to produce large, vibrant blooms for you. Bulb circumference dictates the bulb size. The larger the bulb, the more flowers it will produce. As bulbs are essentially storage mechanisms, they already contain everything needed to produce flowers. They are Tropical and subtropical. All you will need to do is plant them up and water. But best of all, they can be induced to re-bloom indoors for years to come. Amaryllis Santiago is a real gem! It is not only fragrant (like black currants), it also displays a spectacular color combination. Its white and ruby red color strokes, with its graceful blossoms and green center, make it a cheerful alternative and a true eye-catching variety. While its blossoms are somewhat smaller then other Amaryllis', it is a striking, relatively new variety. Most bulbs will produce two stalks, with four flowers per stalk.
