Know before you buy
The 'La Paz' belongs to the Cybister group, which is prized for its exotic, spider-like silhouette. Unlike traditional, rounded Amaryllis blooms, this variety features narrow, tapered petals with striking red and green stripes.
You can expect the first blooms to appear approximately 8 to 10 weeks after you receive your bulb. Keep it in a warm, bright spot to encourage steady growth.
Each premium-grade bulb is guaranteed to produce at least two flower stems. These stems typically reach over two feet in height and often bear four blossoms each.
Yes, but only if you live in a frost-free climate within USDA Zones 8–10. In colder regions, it is best enjoyed as an indoor plant during the winter months.
To perform its best, this Amaryllis needs high, bright light. A sunny windowsill that receives plenty of natural light throughout the day is ideal for supporting its dramatic growth.
