Know before you buy
You can expect these bulbs to bloom within 6 to 9 weeks after potting. This timeline makes them an excellent choice for timing your flowers to coincide with the holiday season.
Plant the bulb in a container with well-draining soil, ensuring the top inch of the bulb remains exposed above the soil surface. This prevents the bulb from rotting and encourages healthy stem growth.
Yes, these Hippeastrum bulbs are perennial in nature. With proper care—such as allowing the foliage to grow after the flowers fade and providing a dormant period—they can return and bloom again in subsequent years.
These bulbs are primarily intended for indoor forcing during the winter. While they can be grown outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 8-12, they are most commonly used as container plants inside the home.
Once planted, place your bulb in a location that receives bright, indirect light. They thrive in full sun to partial shade conditions, which helps support their tall, 24-inch stems.
Yes, these bulbs are considered both deer and rabbit resistant. This makes them a reliable choice if you are concerned about local wildlife interfering with your plants.
